I found it rather conspicuous that all three of the items listed under
"cutting edge" (multicore parallelism, thread sparks, and transactional
memory) fell into concurrency/parallelism category.  I'm not saying it's
a problem, or that I have a better idea, but are we conscious that
we're doing it, and is it what we want?
