That doesn't mean you ought to *break* it. Can't you put the
installation of ThreadedResolver in as a try/except over import thread?
Or can we have twisted.python.runtime.threadingSupported()? or
something. But we oughtn't break support for non-threaded platforms when
it's easy enough to test for it (sys.module["thread"] = None and then
run code as usual).
