@eric At the time @heroku didn't want any dependencies due to the fact that we shipped this library around so many places (nagios event handlers is no place for bundler :)). We could probably setup a conditional to use atomic if the gem is there, but I'd like to avoid adding any requirements.

Kind of silly that Heroku opened a ticket simply via mention on GitHub. Oh well, closing this out for now.
I noticed you referenced the atomic gem. Is there a reason for "faking" it with a mutex instead of using the gem itself?
