Ah. Feh, this REALLY needs to be fixed. -current is broken right
now, plain and simple, and if the people who implemented the features
which have added all this dependency brokenness don't stand up and
finish the job soon, I think it might be reasonable to start calling
for the backing-out of certain changes, the thread stuff coming
especially to mind. Leaving -current broken for this long is truly
not acceptable and it's persisted for long enough.

I agree. Do I hear a volunteer? :-)

Ack, typo, I meant -current.
