If that's what Emacs maintainers want, it is fine by me.

The reason I chose the route I did is that I knew that Emacs would have
relatively minimal requirements from the thread layer.  So requiring a
whole new dependency just for this seemed like needless pain for
porters.  However, it isn't my pain, so I really don't care that much.

What is your plan for the no-threads case?
