Hello,

I used boost thread library a lot and like it very much. Currently, I was
reading the C++ Standerd proposal and saw that a thread (as well as
boost::thread) does not have a priority. Which reason was it not to
implement the thread priority in boost, and why is it not considered in the
upcoming standard? I understand this feature is rarely required, but if
someone suddenly needs to start a real-time priority thread he/she will be
forced to use a third party lib again. Or is there smth. what I miss?

Many thanks,
Ovanes
