Uploaded as 14-199.

Please note that I am not grinding an axe over what decision we should
take, but only of the point that we should think the matter through and
not do something without consciously accepting the consequences.

There was a debate on the gfortran mailing list over whether libcaf
could/should use a daemon thread, which was left for future consideration
(unless there has been a recent decision).  It's that sort of issue.
