If somebody pops up asks such dumb questions without even looking at the
FAQ, it is bad, if not idiotic, because it takes useful time away from
the developers.

But my question was not `why don't you implement this feature?`, but `do
you have plans to implement this feature in the future?', and in the
open source spirit of `if something is not there, go implement it
yourself - without troubling developers' ;)

Also, I have read the section 1.9 of the developers FAQ (Why don't we
use threads in the backend?) long, long ago.

Please don't. See the "NB" at end of my first mail of this thread.
