I don't know, the discussion never reached any concrete conclusions.
(And the more I think about that, the less I understand how a message
pump could help: after all, keyboard input is already a kind of
"message pump", on the OS level.  It seems we'd eventually have the
same problem: how to allow multiple threads to read from the message
pump.)

Some additional discussion was in this thread:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-12/msg00607.html

Maybe we need to start a new discussion on emacs-devel, once you read
that.
