[Cocci] release: 1.0.2: Software evolution around parallelisation support

Specific services (like databases) can provide some shared data storage.

I imagine that these SmPL rules could still be supported for their
original purpose.

It might be easier for a moment to exclude these components under the
constraints of limited software development resources.
Such limitations will result in some software development challenges,
won't it?

How do you think about the potential for extensions around task-specific
preparation and clean-up?

This technical restriction can lead to data processing difficulties,
can't it?

Are there any situations where SmPL scripts will need more control about
parallel work?
