There have been deadlocks, races, and crashes related to how the db system handles multi-threading... and then bringing the system up in the context of workers was extra challenging as well.

Some of the grief stems from the synchronous APIs exposed by the 'tracker' to the embedder. Satisfying those sync requests is troublesome. Altering those webkit level interfaces to be async would provide a little breathing room.
