Actually I allowed myself to lose focus about what's really under
discussion. There are multiple issues in play here. Christian does have a
scenario in which the !SYS_LIGHTWEIGHT_PROT might be useful. In that case,
the code should stay and that discussion can end.
Separately, there's the issue that the !SYS_LIGHTWEIGHT_PROT code is
broken. Someone interested in that code (Christian?) may want to take that up.
And separately again, there's the issue that the stack code itself is not
thread-safe, possibly if there is a ethernet input thread/bottom half
(depending on implementation), and definitely so in the presence of SLIP or
PPP, and the only present way to solve that is implementing
SYS_LIGHTWEIGHT_PROT. At least in the current code.
