I would say since hrev42116. The reason for this is that the semantics of
kill() has been fixed, which is what the kill command uses to send the
signal(s).

prio is a tool that actually works on threads only, not teams (teams don't have
a priority).

There's process controller, if you want to actually kill the thread. I believe
sending other signals to threads is indeed not easily possible anymore. If it
is any consolation, it never was in BeOS.
