I'd like to ask the developers how hard it would be, how much work involved, how many things would have to be changed to support more than one processor.
Second, what if we avoid making the whole OS use a 2nd processor and just provide a way for app developers to use mcpus if they are willing to take the time to reprogram their apps?
No burden to reprogram the whole OS or provide backwards compatibility.
Can it be done?
