according to the docs
This feature is likely to be removed in the future as external packages can have better solutions.

Is it referring to std/threadpool module or to just spawn procedure?

To all of it.

Also, will the core team provide which external packages are the recommended/better solutions?
I'm aware of:
- Weave
- Constantine
- malebogia
- thready

and nim-taskpools, which has been used in production for over a year by thousands of people for long-running 24/7 applications securing billions of dollars for the Ethereum blockchain.

Please don't use thready: From the readme: ⚠️ WARNING: This library is a WIP and not ready to be used yet. ⚠️

I can now recommend Malebolgia for a test drive. Benchmark results are good, the API is a joy to use, it is small and fast and has documentation.

You mean you nimmed everything of value and hit the road.
