It's not the case (yet), but it would be helpful to treat such
a situation as a non-bug, so that Gnus can be modified to take advantage
of threads without having to worry about backward compatibility.

Yet we wouldn't consider it a bug in Calc if it doesn't work when we
build without bignums. That's the difference between bignums and
threads currently, and the point of my original question is to ask
whether we could change this situation and decide that Emacs-27 will
always come with threads, just like it always comes with bignums.
