I'm not quite sure I can buy this. The lack of wired up signals has
more problems than just hurting parallelism. In fact, the USR1 thing
seems like something that we actually should backpatch, rather than
defer to v11. I think there's some fair arguments to be made that we
shouldn't do the refactoring right now - although I'm not sure about it
- but just not fixing the bugs seems like a bad plan.

If we were to go for this, surely this'd need a comment.
