        I think this is a valid point.

        This is not the first time the need for proper refcount "interface"
  arises, or at least the discussion of the need for it, and I would say
  that it is better to do this now than later. Clearly, the ref. count code
  in mbuf.h is suffering from a pretty nasty race.
        Even if we use the particularities of the mbuf cluster referencing
  system to fix it one way now, we're bound to encounter similar problems
  sooner or later.
