Hi,

The openbsd journal had a series of articles on rthreads back in 2012,
which I came across last week. I've also been following DragonFlyBSD
lately. Their approach to SMP is different but seems to pay off
(according to their website), with contention in their kernel almost
eliminated in their latest release. 
Could DBSD's approach be adopted by OpenBSD, has it been considered?
Obviously it would be a hell of a job, what other complications would
arise and/or make this infeasible (security, portability)? This question
was asked before in the archives but no explanation was given.

Best,
Erwin
