We're flexible, but I don't want to wait too long (some people are
waiting for bugfixes relative to 6.0.1).
I'm wary about turing on the threaded RTS by default without some
serious testing first. Ideally we would include it in 6.2 but make it
available via an option. There isn't currently a way to select a
different version of the RTS, but perhaps there ought to be.
Cheers,
Simon
