Rationale:

The (tentative) concensus of the LWG is to keep the variadic thread constructor.

[ 2009-11-17 Moved to Tentatively NAD after 5 positive votes on c++std-lib. Rationale added below. ]

The variadic thread constructor is causing controversy, e.g. N2901. This issue has been created as a placeholder for this course of action.

template <class F, class ...Args> thread(F&& f, Args&&... args);

See 929 for wording which specifies an rvalue-ref signature but with "decay behavior", but using variadics.
