I'm also mindful of Anthony Williams' Just Threads! which is effectively a v4 complete rewrite of Boost.Thread. That's a commercial product held totally separate to Boost, and it has been woefully underused because people didn't know it existed. Some would argue - and I'm not sure I include myself here - that if Just Threads! were the all new singing and dancing Boost.Thread rewrite, and if people running into problems with Boost.Thread could pay the fee for the new rewrite until its development costs were paid off, that could bring new very high quality developed for profit libraries to Boost.
Anthony's Just Thread situation was part of our inspiration for submitting Boost.SIMD as we indeed saw it as something that follow a model close to ours and looks like it works. The main difference is indeed the order of inclusion.
