  • Thread safety is hard:
    • Arises through 
      Jira Legacy

      ; full discussion there.
    • A lot of things we say are @ThreadSafe really aren't, although they are mostly @ThreadSafeAfterInit and other things probably conspire to mean we're probably OK in practice. This makes me uncomfortable.
    • It's not possible even in principle to make most things truly @ThreadSafe because of 
      Jira Legacy

      .
    • We could fix that (and I think we should, see this commit) but that wouldn't address all the issues, just make it possible to do so for cases we care most about.
    • Beyond that, I don't think really nailing this down is going to be felt to be worthwhile, but we might want to document some assumptions and change some annotations anyway.
  • Building from Docker containers: iay/shibboleth-build-docker seems to work
