Depends on who 'our' is, if you're an internals guy you need not care, 
that's true, but as a user of the language you care about how much sync-ing 
you have to do yourself in your perl code - the preemptive vs. cooperative 
discussion is there valid as well though it would probably be good to 
seperate these discussions :-)
