Subject: [ruby-talk:10692] stopping a thread instance

Hi,

Is there some obvious reason I am missing why
there is no Thread#stop method?

Ok, after some searching, I found the following in the 
change log:

>>
Mon Mar  2 16:28:27 1998  Yukihiro Matsumoto  <matz@netlab.co.jp>

        * eval.c (thread_stop_method): remove Thread#stop.
<<


However, I did not see any explanation as to why.
