As long as we are talking about a closed system that works exclusively 
on this fiber based concurrency model, I completely agree with you 
(fiber local storage would be fine, though).

But we have the "unfortunate" situation that the language is not an 
isolated ecosystem. There are many C libraries that do thread-specific 
things in one way or another, or worse, make use of ordinary global 
variables without any protection against data races, and we simply 
cannot ignore that.
