One other thing: posix semaphores used to be a module. That code was
made the victim^W showpiece for demonstrating how the New World Order
was going to be. When the New World Order turned out to be broken,
that and other things were rolled back after a lengthy political
squabble.

Part of the resistance you're seeing is the legacy of that squabble,
even though people probably don't really want to say so.
