Comment (by pmestevez):

 A quick update from my end. I looked into whether auto-discovery could be
 a fallback here, and I do not think it will work in practice because for
 non-allowlisted providers WordPress sanitizes the returned oEmbed HTML,
 strips the <script> tag, and then rejects the result if no <iframe>
 remains. Since the current Threads response is blockquote + script rather
 than iframe, discovery alone does not appear sufficient.

 Separately, it'd be great to understand what the final process is for
 deciding whether a provider like Threads can be added as a supported
 oEmbed provider in core. It would also be helpful to understand the
 expected timeline for that decision, or whether there are specific
 remaining criteria this proposal needs to satisfy.
