The generator was an attempt to make things more convenient, so one
doesn't have to configure the number of workers explicitly. It's true that it
doesn't work in all deployment scenarios (we use tmpfs for the pool for example
where it also doesn't work). If it didn't achieve that goal we may just as well
drop it.
