I don't think it matters how much future proofing is done, I don't think we'll ever see desktop applications using hundreds of threads. Hell it is so difficult as to be nearly impossible to code for 8 threads in the vast majority of existing code bases, let alone hundreds.
Hundreds of threads.... Seems almost like a joke right now.
EDIT: It is in the nature of c/c++. The way it is made makes it difficult to code massively parallel workloads. If hundreds of threads will ever be possible, I doubt very very much that c/c++ is going to be the language that it is achieved on.
