boost::signal and thread-safety

Hi, The signal FAQ says that currently boost::signals aren't thread-safe. I'm guessing this applies to connecting/disconnecting slots from different threads and calling a signal from multiple threadsl, right? If synchronize access when connecting slots and make sure that only a single thread calls a certain signal, can I then use boost::signal to fire events from objects that do processing in a worker thread? As a secondary question: how far in the future will this thread- safety support be added? Thanks in advance, Sven
