Simply so the bugs cover something tractable. There are other places where we
update shared state in a way that is not safe for concurrent code. We don't
have a list of all such places yet. The task to find and fix them all is IMHO
too big for one bug. If you want you could create a meta bug for that which
then can depend on these 2 bugs (plus any others for issues we find in the
future).
