There hasn't been much positive response (in the original thread or here). Do note that there was little response of any kind, but all it got was positive. It's not sexy, but is essential for debugging deadlocks. If you ask for positive response, you'll get some -- the use is obvious for those who need it. I didn't (and don't) think this needs a "sales job".

FWIW, I think this patch should go in. The benefits are obvious and real. But, the imagined costs of a new feature during beta are illusory. In this case, practicality beats pedantry. For the users, it is a net win if this goes in. Raymond
