Absolutely. Does anyone know if/when this specific API will be
released? Is Sun going to shove this into the Connector API
specification? Is Sun just going to do a Connector API specification
and then leave folks to build their own connectors, like
ThreadFactories, in which case all our future multithreaded beans will
be non-portable?

Absolutely. I second the motion. I particularly endorse an API that
treats thread creation as its own thing, and doesn't try to make it
conform to more generic constraints. Threads are unique.
And no, I don't believe that the answer is just "use JMS wherever you'd
use a thread". That solves some problems, but not all of them.
