There is no specification so we can only guess what was intended. Perhaps
-thread-info was just meant to give info for the selected thread which
presumably would not take long to compute even with all the details. In any
case, as Daniel says, the problem is to devise one(s) which is/are generally
useful.
I would guess the reason that they haven't already been implemented is that
the other information is kernel/OS dependent e.g on GNU/Linux I get:
(gdb) inf threads

but presumably not all systems have the concept of a lightweight process,
and maybe the numbering of the threads is different.
