This patch, IIUC, will cause the new_thread observer to be notified only
in MI mode. Then, no observer except for MI one will ever be called?
Then, why those non-MI observers exist?

Or to put in other way, I think this patch will make you annotation
observers to be never called. Is this what you want?
