That is unlikely. The OS scheduler (I assume that will still exist), will take care of that problem. At the end, more work will be done which is all we're looking after.
I'm not sure what you're trying to argue any more. When pointed out that the notion of "hardwareConcurrency is a measure of the amount of simultaneous work that can be done" is not a valid assumption, you say that you should let the OS scheduler sort it out. Yet the entire reason you're arguing to include it is that developers need to gauge the amount of simultaneous work that can be done.
At this point, I have come to the conclusion that you are unwilling to understand the objections to this feature, and I don't think it's worth my time to try to keep explaining something to you that you look set on implementing and shipping despite numerous objections.
