Are you sure this doesn't apply in conservative mode? Specifically point 5, ensuring no starvation.

Seems like in conservative mode you ought to be able to stop the threads wherever, at least from a GC reporting standpoint, there is no difference. I suppose there might be unsafe points here and there if we have intervals where "only live via exterior pointer" holds. I'll see what the GC guys say.

I'll buy that; thanks for clarifying.
