Yes, I've delayed while thinking about the issues that Michael raised.
There are basically two paths I see:
1. These do not solve all problems/races, but are a solid base and
sensible path forward for further changes which we can worry about
later.
2. There is a better way to provide prune safety, and these patches
will get in the way of doing that.
I wanted to make sure we are on path (1) and not path (2). :)
I'll try to send out a re-roll tonight.
