The road map <https://www.mltframework.org/changes/todo/> is mostly wishes and guesswork especially beyond MLT 7. The main focus of the remainder of MLT 7 is completion of existing things. There is no technical reason for the positioning of MSVC, and someone is free to get it working for MLT 7. And it can be included in MLT 7 as long as it is not too ugly from a maintenance perspective. I do not know the main difficulties or problems. As far as pthreads is concerned you can still make it dependent upon that, and there is a popular port of it to win32 threads that is also available for use with CMake in vcpkg: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pull/4081 It is up to your KDE/Windows goals whether to rely upon that or not and also the depth of any policy. For example, the policy may only apply to KDE code, and it may be difficult to convert every dependency in the hierarchy to not use pthreads.
