Subject: [PATCH] README: updates for kqueue
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2015 02:37:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151213023742.24968-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

It's been there long enough and kqueue itself hasn't changed.  In
fact, IIRC the entire design of yahns (for another server in late
2011) probably came about because of the name "kqueue"...
