I tend to think in the similar direction. Threads class happens to be the first one that I tried to use as a newcomer to boost++ so I ended up 'complaining' here. In particular, losing features that one learns to take for granted on some platforms (like thread stop, suspended start) is not motivating. Also, relying on OS notifications (like DLL_THREAD_DETACH on Win32) for TLS cleanup, and extra code required to support boost threads static library on Win32 is not my favourite, despite a rather ingenious implementation. I think it would be best if we can completely avoid using Win32 DLL process/thread notifications and make TLS cleanup part of the thread function object. I already expressed, somewhat radical I guess, opinion that, at least on Win32, TLS functionality is probably not worth the trouble of existing cleanup support code.
