This one I totally agree with.

But this one I don't. At least not the "new features" part. Had I
considered the patch a new feature I wouldn't have committed it. To me
it looked like a bug fix and I still see it as such. Yes, we could have
documented the bug instead, but still I don't see how we could argue
that getting multithreading to work on Windows is a feature when it's
already working on all other platforms a and is also compilable, but not
working in some/most cases, on Windows.
