The thing that has me slightly worried is that there may be a source of
nondeterminism buried in a library where we can't get at it that ends up
influencing Servo a lot. Gulp, not much we can do other than try it and
see. Computing is n experimental science and all that.

We're interested in doing the experiment of how to increase the amount of
determinism in a program like Servo where almost all the nondeterminism
that's observable by Servo has a single cause (in Servo's case selecting on
channels). There'll still be a lot of nondeterminism in the system (e.g.

Yeah, that's a really good question. This is just the rough idea for my
project and we're still shaping out the details.
Some high level points:
- As you already mentioned, RR sequentializes execution
