I've made it a personal crusade to eliminate D state. In addition to all
the damage done by computer resources being locked up, something about my
computer ignoring me rankles me on a personal level.
I believe this proposal is about making open() hang, which I think is even
more painful than having read/write hang. open() is often designed to
block much more casually.
