I think that's true currently, but it'd also prevent us from doing that in additional places. Which, in my opinion, we really should (and I believe that's realistically achievable). Thus I really don't want to base the correctness of CIC - a relatively infrequent operation - on the assumption that no VM bits can be set concurrenty due to the SUE lock.
