I am not talking about some abnormal termination.
We do have ability to spawn control threads, user can spawn his own thread, all these
threads can have limited life-time.
Not to mention about rte_thread_register()/rte_thread_unregister().

Well, from my perspective 14 cycles are not that much...
Though yes, it would be good to hear more opinions here.
