Agreed, it's not funny to me either.  Excluding threaded applications
from doing.. anything.. implies to me that either someone thinks same
do not need resource management facilities due to some magical property
of threading itself, or someone doesn't realize that an application
thread is a task, ie one and the same things which can be doing one and
the same job.  No matter how I turn it, what I see is nonsense.

If no third party can flush my customers investment down the toilet, I
can cease to care.  Please don't CC me in future, you're unlikely to
convince me that v2 is remotely sane, nor do you need to.  Lucky you.
