The evaluation reads:
We believe Thread.interrupt to be no worse (and no better) than
Thread.stop at interrupting I/O in progress. Unfortunately, neither of
these calls reliably breaks out of I/O waits. On some platforms, it is
extremely difficult to implement the desired behavior.

As of today, the interruptable io has officially deprecated. We are not
going to fix this bug. However, we leave the current implementation as
it is for backward compatibility.
