it scales good for system that have nice api (such as linux 2.6 epoll)

I don't see it happening anytime soon. Maybe 3.3 or post 3.3, almost assuredly not for the 3.2 branch.

Agreed, I hate libevent. In my mind, this is not something that should be handled by a library, it is better left to the application. Otherwise you wind up with a "general purpose" interface much like Windows' message system. And if you've ever played with that, you realize that as time progresses it gets much more complex, much uglier, and eventually it gets to the point where there are bugs that can never be fixed due to the fact that fixing them would break every single program in existence. Hence, in my mind, in this particular case it's better to reinvent the wheel than to use a wheel that isn't round.
I should, however, mention that epoll support will be added.
