I don't remember. I asked Ken about it when Marek updated a huge swath
of tests to run concurrent and I swapped the default flag from
non-concurrent to concurrent, but I don't remember all of the details.

Front buffer rendering and timer query were two cases where concurrent
definitely wasn't safe.

PS. I need to stop responding to emails from my phone.
