I think what he is saying is that they are aware that the current
situation is not ideal.

vfork() is suggested as a workaround, definitely not a fix.

The problem is that there is limited effort available to be put into
the VM subsystem and since mostly-working superpages is still *way*
better than no superpages, that limited effort is best spent elsewhere
at present, presumably dealing with other, bigger VM subsystem issues.

Hope I got that right. :)
