Threading has been removed, partially for this reason. It won't be
an issue anymore.

Yes it is.
git commit 7824598c1f9d4a6900253409523277c28433ffba
svn revision @2216

It's positively ancient already though. I'm working several hours per
day on Nagios 4 and I really can't chuck out a new version for every
feature I add and every bug I fix.

Nope. Or maybe. The git<->svn conversion might do weird things to
the timestamps. The change is listed as having happened 09:06:22
but on the same date in my svn-synced git repo, which means I did
git-svn dcommit around then. In the long run, we'd be better off
putting up autobuild servers that build on each push and get
their version from an scm with version numbers on can actually
rely on (cough-git-cough).

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
