My understanding is that the perf team wants to prevent things from writing during shutdown so that they become confident that it is safe to shut down early. But, AFAICT, it is OK to do I/O during shutdown as long as you don't care whether you get interrupted or not. Now, one question is whether it is safe to let an exit(0) on the main thread interrupt an NSS database write that happens off the main thread. That's something I will look into.
