Twitter apocalypse 

Twitter is high-profile enough that its threat model is not just "somebody publishes an exploit and teenagers wreak havoc for a day or two". Twitter is used by activists, journalists and governments, and the threat model includes "a nation-state penetrates the intranet and hijacks a legitimate employee's credentials". What worries me is a targeted attack, say, scraping a bunch of DMs by local dissidents, who all get mysteriously arrested in two weeks. Chaos makes that easier.

@mcc @luna lifetime specifiers seem very closely tied to the call stack, and that's usually my first approximation. the rest is tracking ownership to see which part of the call stack is going to finalize a value.

there are aspects of operating in this space that can be a nightmare.
