The ucontext stuff is nice but why was it deprecated?

It's generally not a problem on x86, but in my experience for other platforms, it gets messy quickly.

It would be nice if a replacement or a "de-deprecated" was around.

That question has seriously bothered me too. OS threads are not a replacement as they are preemptive. The deprecation was way premature.
