I'm not totally clear on the reason for making this change. Other than #13372, is there much work to do in order to enable Continuations on BE Linux? If there are more changes, then it makes sense to me to go ahead with this PR. Otherwise, I'd rather work with you to tweak #13372  to get Continuations working instead.

I don't want to stand in the way of progress, so I'm happy to support this change if you feel that it streamlines things. I'm just thinking that we are likely to undo these changes in a couple weeks.
