Sorry, but I just have to ask 'why'? IDE is seeing a whole lot of churn
for something that should essentially be a stable code base in
maintenance mode, and now scalability improvements?
It is the stable code but being in "maintenance only mode" has never
been true and as long as there are active users & developers there is
really no reason to change it.
Are there really many active users at this point? I'm not aware of any
new distributions that are using it. The only people I can see that
might still want to be using it would be people with old setups or old
embedded devices.. many of those wouldn't be using newer kernels anyway.
These kinds of changes only will really help scalability on multi-core
machines which are unlikely to be using this code anyway.. They seem
rather like putting makeup on a corpse to me..
