Note the state of the proposal #50
Conversation
The CG has reached agreement that the future of threads in WebAssembly goes through the shared-everything-threads proposal. This change tries to communicate the "legacy" nature of wasi-threads: still valuable in some cases but planned for eventual deprecation.

Can we perhaps mention there are runtimes already implementing this proposal (WAMR specifically) and teams that rely on it, so it will be around for quite some time?
I understand we want to encourage people to wait and use the new proposal, but if there are people like us who got stuck with this proposal and can't migrate, they can open a ticket in this repo to contact us for any relevant topic - I'll be actively monitor this repo and reply to those tickets.

Yeah, those are good points. I'll try to add something about that. Can you think of anyone else I should put on the "contact these people" list?

please feel free to include me.
however, i'm not sure if such a list is necessary.
a list of links to github issues of relevant repos, including this repo, should be enough.
it probably even works better than a person-level contact list.

please feel free to include me too if the list is added.
As suggested by @yamt in a [comment], it may be better to avoid highlighting WAMR exclusively in the top-level "warning." Instead, this updates the implementation status for known engines. [comment]: WebAssembly#50 (comment)
