I think the main point is that it should not break existing code.

We need NPTL support in all three of GCC, Linux kernel and glibc before 
it can be tested.  If it doesn't break existing code, I think it should 
go in the kernel so that we have something on which to test gcc and glibc.

Just my $0.02
