This is part of merging lwt.preemptive into lwt.unix without breaking downstream packages. See ocaml/opam-repository#11071 (comment) See also #487.

This is more of a long-term plan: there's no purpose in factoring out a separate
lwt_preemptive. It should just be part oflwt_unix.The reasoning is that, I think, these days, any platform
lwt.unixcompiles on is also going to have native threads support in the OCaml distribution, so we can assume-threads, so there is no purpose in separatinglwt.preemptive.If this is not true, or any other assumptions I'm making are wrong, please let me know. Also, please cc anyone that might have more information, including about the more obscure systems OCaml supports.
