Have you see the work currently underway on this?

This is the result of the lack of DB level locking, which is a serious
consistency issue that I'm very glad was not swept under the carpet.

We could waste our time on a discussion about how we came to have no
read locking on our core user store, or what should have been done to
respond to the flapping tests earlier, or we could continue to focus
our efforts on landing the ldb and tdb changes required.

I'm sure you do.
