I also wondered at the free wording in all the multitude of packages. And
your proposal is a good try to solve the problem. As Arnout has pointed
out, it would also be nice to minimize the comment length, so
  - "needs" looks better than "requires";
  - "support" might well be dropped;
  - "thread" might be changed to "THREADS" if "support" is dropped.
