I wondered the same thing myself. I think Matt stated he preferred Runnable to 
extending Thread in the past, but I really don’t like changes like this just 
for the sake of someone’s personal preference.  While we do have sort of an 
unwritten list of coding guidelines this one isn’t on that list (at least, not 
yet).
