I still use 2.6 without NPTL... why... cause the thing
never worked proper on my box... the system keept crashing all the time.. and I was getting massive
segfaults... of course that was more than 6 months ago but still I'm skeptic about NPTL still so imho
we provide without NPTL but if ppl want it they can still recast it... remember a fresh install needs
to work on any box... after customizing the box then it's anyone's game.

Did you report bugs throught our bugzilla interface? glibc NPTL has been in stable grimoire for a while, so everyone assume that it's quite stable. The only bug i found is that bash (2.05b or 3.00) needs to be patched to work with newer glibc. You'll find the patch attached (for 2.05b)
