If so, that's a pretty dumb design. Also the HTTP server is
implemented as a component (TComponent descendant), so I gather the
thoughts was that some day they would like it to sit on the Lazarus
component palette, where it will be dropped onto some form or data
module - thus rendering that application frozen too.

I can't see how that would work either. For example, you can never
check for the Terminated boolean property (in the customary while
loop) inside the thread's Execute method, because as before, the call
to Active never returns. So you always need to kill the process - no
clean exit ever.
