Comment (by mmoll@…):
Thread safety is different from multi-threaded. Thread-safe code can be
used in multi-threaded code, but isn't necessarily multi-threaded itself.
Multi-threaded code necessarily must be thread-safe. Nevertheless, I can
see the value in having fewer variant names. It'd be nice if a multi-
threaded port that depended on hdf-18 would build the threadsafe variant
of hdf5-18. That is more likely to happen if the hdf5-18 variant is named
"threads". In other words, I'd be okay with this change, as long as the
variant description is clear what it means in each case.
