Description

Request from Office/Calendar team: We need the ability to specify which thread a native module should run on. I believe this is possible, or will be soon, but we need some migration document to help us here. Background: We need some of our native modules to run on specific threads. In one case, this needs to be the UI thread, but in other cases, we need to run on a specific dedicated background thread.
