Are there plans for Boost.Thread to support variadic templates sometime soon?
Boost.Thread relies on boost::bind. As such, it won't support variadic templates until boost::bind does.
We'd use c++0x, but it looks like there's no plan to support timed_join and interruption/cancellation.
You're right: interruption was too controversial, and timed_join imposes too much overhead on some implementations. If you need the equivalent, use std::async(std::launch::async,thread_func) to start your thread, and use wait_for/wait_until on the returned std::future.
Will Boost.Thread continue to do so though or is there something I'm missing in regards to c++0x?
There are no plans for Boost.Thread to drop interruption or timed_join.
