That's it's not good C++. We are designing a C++ interface here, and we want to take advantage of all the nice things C++ has to offer, as Sohail pointed out. N2184 is better at using all those nice things, IMO.
N2184 is closer to pthreads than the C++ portion of N2178 is, FWIW. But don't let that stop you.
I won't :-) Being close to pthreads model is a good thing. Being close to pthreads in other aspect depends on the aspect, and can be neither a good thing, not a bad thing. I don't know exactly what you mean. In general, I can say that apart from the good stuff in pthreads, all the rest is simply a non-issue - I'm neither promoting being close nor far away from pthreads. I'm promoting making the best C++ design possible.
