	IMHO the points are:

H.B.: In a typical MT application there exist a lot of (application-)shared
data which is modified from the several threads simultaneously. Typical
destructors almost always modify the shared data so the calls to these
destructors have to be somehow serialized.

S.D.: In a well-designed MT application the threads work almost independently,
the (application-)shared data is pretty rare and concentrated in a few
well-know places. So a GC can call the finalizers at any time, no external
synchronization required.
