Can someone remind me why we have --enable-thread-safety? As opposed to it being default and having --disable-thread-safety.
I don't have any numbers or a roster to support this, but I suppose that thread-safety is not supported on some platforms. So either we'd have to have diverging defaults or annoy those unsupported platforms with a mandatory switch. The situation is quite similar in my view to the integer datetimes switch: we need a very high level of platform support before turning this on by default.
(I suppose there was initially also some general uncertainty about the maturity of thread things, but I think we can consider that satisfied by now.)
