The intermediate history is in the jigsaw/jake repo [1] if we need it. I 
don't have time to dig into it now but just to say that the 
THREAD_START/THREAD_END events are specified to be notified in start + 
live phases. It would be a bug (as in spec/impl mismatch) if we are 
posting these events in the primordial phase.
