This should have read: "... the contract in ECM seems to be that dependent
components might already have been disposed of *during the disposal stage of the
depending component*.
It means that, if you have a ThreadSafe component that depends on another
ThreadSafe component (and caches that component for the duration of its life)
it cannot be guaranteed that it can use it inside dispose() method, it might
have been disposed of already.

But it's only an issue during disposal stage.
