You're exactly right here. Hopefully the existence of a checker will break
the impasse.
I should note that FindBugs does some partial checking of @GuardedBy,
though a web search indicates some problems with its implementation.

Great, we appreciate it. We can try it on some random open-source
software, but a case study is *much* more effective when someone who knows
and cares about the code is helping out. And, the case study should help
the developers too.
Thanks!
