Comment (by johnmaddock):

 I understand the issue and your frustration.

 What I'm against is changing Boost.Thread in a way that allows it to
 compile, but causes hidden/silent/unpredictable breakages at runtime.

 Note that you still have the option to either define BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS
 when building to build single threaded versions of Boost libraries, or of
 changing boost/config/user.hpp to modify the Config setting for your
 specific case.
