An afterthought, probably more useful:
In Registry API, a lock over the structure is available for clients. If 
MutableFileSet allows its owner (who creates the instance) to lock the 
FileSets for the length of modification, supressing event flow, it may 
remove quite a few deadlocks: subsequent modifications are often done 
from synchronzied sections for data consistency reasons.
