Currently, if you create a thread through the thread module (rather than threading), it won't participate in the "wait until all threads are done" algorithm - you have to use the threading module. Moving it into the thread module would allow to cover all threads. Also, if the interpreter invokes, say, threading._shutdown(): that's also "user-screwable", as a user may put something else into threading._shutdown. To make it non-visible, it has to be in C, not Python (and even then it might be still visible to extension modules).
