That might be worth trying, but you'd have to put in place a mechanism for ThreadPlans to register a timeout and a callback on timeout that could adjust and restart the process, and that isn't in place yet.  Not sure this would appear any more arbitrary than what we do now, however, though it might allow more code to run on only a single thread.

Yes, in my opinion that would seem even more arbitrary which is what
I'd like to avoid (and not the actual behaviour itself).  Do you think
it'd be reasonable to provide a user-facing message when we run other
threads during stepping?
