    1 Nitpick: "synchronous with" != "atomic with". Two things can be synchronous, but an error causes one of them to happen and the other not. The decref would only be synchronous with, not atomic with the decide-to-rm operation if #1833 were implemented. (This is why Noether's failure handling model is better :-)

    33I don't know for sure whether #1833 would fix this particular race condition, but my intuition is that it wouldn't because the race isn't between the decref and the decide-to-rm.
