Not at all. But all the published programs that people see use pthreads,
which is an anti-unix design. If you want to change people's minds,
you have to show them programs that use rfork effectively. (Linux has
cleverly engineered clone so that it can't be used directly, which feeds
the idea that pthreads are the right thing.)
