When we encounter main thread I/O, most of the time, it is something that should be rooted out. However, in a few cases (e.g. early during startup, late during shutdown), these pieces of I/O should actually be left untouched.
Since main thread I/O keeps being added to the tree, for good or bad reasons, I believe that we should adopt a convention of tagging legitimate main thread I/O. e.g. : - « Reading on the main thread as threads are not up yet ». - « Reading on the main thread as we may need to install XPCOM components required before profile-after-change. » - ... Any thoughts?
