I know, I should probably have mentioned it. But the proper concurrency=20 support comes at a price. To make a proper decision, we need to know how bi= g=20 the price is. A theoretically perfect solution may very well be practically= =20 impossible. At that point it shows that the theory overlooked certain issue= s=20 that users care about.
