Hmm... yeah, I would much prefer if this doesn't go in this time.  I
think we need something more generic for threadpools w/ scheduling
restrictions.  It would be possible to retrofit so that the interface
eventually matches but given that this feature isn't an immediate
must-have thing, I think it would be better to not do this right now.

Thanks.
