How you define small? Earlier you said using libc getconf is bloat
(as nproc replacement) for multicore systems, but now you suggest
that for cores > 64 we should't care. Where do you draw the line?

Embedded systems that have lots of RAM and CPUs/cores run-time may be
still limited to having a boot flash of just few megs where the whole
OS image needs to fit.
