I initially had one question/concern with this release I answered for
myself by reading the code:

Q: Did it switch to using fibers (and drop threads), so it becomes like
   Revactor uses and thus need its own scheduler?

A: No, it still uses threads in addition to fibers.  It'll still work with
   existing, thread-safe/aware code and not require rearchitecting your
   application like Revactor did.
