Re: Suggestion for next year's WPILib

I won't profess to know VxWorks inside and out, but killing threads is commonly a dangerous task if you do not control what the task is up to and allow it to get to a good place first. This is why LV Abort is somewhat cooperative and doesn't simply kill threads. It is still reasonable to do this within WPILib, just not as simple to pull off.
