RedHat still dead set on fixing futexes???

After so many years of struggling with them I'd rather threw them away.

I still recall the frustration on RedHat mail lists after the release of RHL8. Nothing else but RPM itself was constantly hanging on call to futexes. The most frustrating part of course was the cold silence on the problem from RH employees... As if problem didn't exist...
