I'm not saying we don't need new API should we replace QThread with
std::thead. I'm saying that all the hard, impressive, work is already
done. It seems to be mostly a question of API now.
Sorry, but I think API design _is_ the hard work. Not the part that
is/should be the afterthought. And I think that that very thought has
been the basis of the succes of Qt over the years.
I disagree. For anything related to multithreading (and that's what we're
talking about here), implementation is orders of magnitude harder than API.

I beg to differ. QThread being a good example. So many people got it wrong when using it, it is obvious the API is just not right. The thing worked ok, but it turns out it hard to use it right. You may call the implementation orders of magitudes harder, but it was the API that was screwed up, not so much the implementation.
