Description

There is a new threading model being planned for NonStop. I cannot provide details at this moment (currently under NDA) but it will require changes to the 50-nonstop.conf file to support. I expect to have the information next week when I can spin up a test environment for this change. I am not anticipating (hopefully) any code changes from this new model.

The change will require documentation changes in the NOTES-NONSTOP.md file on how to configure and build with the new model.

With a little luck, this should be a trivial change. It would be really nice to be able to have this apply to 3.0 forward, since it is only a config change based on a new build. No builds will be dropped as part of this change.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the NonStop configuration file 50 nonstop.conf and documentation NOTES NONSTOP.md to understand current threading models. Once details are available, add support for the new model and update documentation.
