Vicente,

you've listed quite a large number of changes in your email, including some merge commits. This
looks like too large change to merge when the master branch is closed. Possibly, you've copy-pasted
something from GitHub interface, and it did not came across as intended.

If you believe there are truly horrible bugs that would regress boost.thread, could you specifically
list those bugs, along with commits fixing those bugs specifically - and we can cherry-pick those
changes if so warranted.

In particular, the above appears to show all your commits on develop, not any
particular commit, so it's hard to understand what you're proposing to merge.
