It is fair. They should do an OS from scratch. It should be autonomic with extensive concurrency and fault tolerance. Who needs another version of 30 year old technology?
That worked for 30 years and still going ;-)
There are so many things in life , that arent "bad" because they are old,
acutally it's the reverse ... like wine ... ( the one we drink ;-) )
"Old" software ... upper versions, is called very often : "mature" , "very well known" ... trustworthy ...euh ... stable ?

pthread_setconcurrency
pthread_getconcurrency(3T) pthread_getconcurrency(3T)
NAME
pthread_getconcurrency(), pthread_setconcurrency() - get or set the concurrency level of unbound threads
SYNOPSIS
PARAMETERS
new_level New concurrency level for the unbound threads in the calling process.
DESCRIPTION
The unbound threads in a process may or may not be required to be simultaneously active. By default, the threads implementation ensures
that a sufficient number of threads are active so that the process can continue to make progress. While this conserves system resources, it
may not produce the most effective level of concurrency. The function allows an application to inform the threads implementation of its
desired concurrency level, new_level. The actual level of concurrency provided by the system as a result of this function call is unspeci-
fied.
If new_level is zero, it will cause the implementation to maintain the concurrency level at its discretion as if were never called.
The function returns the value set by a previous call to If the function was not previously called, this function returns zero to indicate
that the system is maintaining the concurrency level.
Note: When an application calls it is informing the implementation of its desired concurrency level. The implementation will use this as a
hint, not a requirement. A call to immediately after a call to may return a different concurrency level specified in
If the system does not support the multiplexing of user threads on top of several kernel-scheduled entities, the functions and functions
will be provided for source code compatibility, but they shall have no effect when called. To maintain the function semantics, the
new_level parameter will be saved when is called so that a subsequent call to will return the same value.
RETURN VALUE
If successful, returns zero. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error (the variable is not set).
The function always returns the concurrency level set by a previous call to If the function has never been called, shall return zero.
ERRORS
If any of the following occur, the function shall return the corresponding error number.
[EINVAL] The value specified by new_level is invalid.
[EAGAIN] The value specified by new_level would cause a system resource to be exceeded.
APPLICATION USAGE
Use of these functions changes the state of the underlying concurrency level upon which the application depends. Library developers are
advised to not use the and functions as their use may conflict with an applications use of these functions.
