--- Comment #3 from Tim-Philipp Müller <t.i.m at zen.co.uk> ---
I don't know, this doesn't really strike me as something that usually requires
thread-safe iteration. Who wants to iterate the registry using GstIterator?

We could just retrieve a full GList of plugins/features (with ref) in these
functions at the start (with lock held), and then iterate over that retrieved
list instead of the original list in the registry. I think that's what the user
would expect, and the extra overhead seems negligible.
