Bolting M:N threads onto JVM runtime in the hope it will enable people to program the JVM like Erlang (without the rest of the Erlang feature set that actually make it good) still seems to me a clear cut case of "not a worthwhile complexity tradeoff". The added JVM implementation complexity and maintainance burden would seem to be pretty heavy for something like this.
