So what was the conclusion about threading? I had to leave HF during
the discussion but my impression was that threading was marked as
important and it should go to 2.0. If Martin is finally willing to
merge threading we should support him. The threading branch (the
knowledge) could also be lost during the years until the 3.0 release.

Is there the 2.0 changes list written on flip chart on HF somewhere on
wiki? If not, I'll start one. Is there a photo?
