There is no problem for any skin to enclose the timeout computation and t=
he=20
actual suspension call within an interrupt-free section, and as a matter =
of=20
fact, some skins already do this. What's not that handy, is for _user_ le=
vel=20
code to do the same, this is true. In that case, the issue is not with th=
e=20
nucleus, but with the skin.
