parent object must extend to the lifetime of its children. If the control plane
removes a parent object before its children, then the parent must remain, in an
**incomplete** state, until the children are themselves removed. Likewise if a child

hold a **lock** on the parent. This is a simple reference count. Children then follow
the add-or-lock/unlock semantics for finding a parent, as opposed to a malloc/free.
