I'm dubious about this proposal.

If there's an obscure race-condition bug during bootstrapping
that makes Emacs crash, why isn't it plausible that a similar
bug could occur during normal operation?  Bootstrapping is
a more-intense activity that could well be more likely to
trigger races, but isn't it more plausible that the races
could occur at any time?
