I don't know.  I have a stand-alone application written using Qt 4.6.x that
performs branch management with Subversion.  It supports unlimited numbers of
root and child branches, where each could have a thread running at any given
time.  It uses the "wrong" way of threading (i.e., sub-classing QThread and
re-implementing run()) and everything works just fine.  I've had no issues at
all with this approach.

I implemented this way before I found that article, but see no real reason to
re-factor into compliance with the "right" way as I ain't gonna fix what ain't
broken.  ;)
