Please do not make it so unless these things are updated in a syncronous
maner, otherwise strange results could happen due to sup1 != sup2 != sup3
as far as the state of the collection.

It would very likely cause src-base to come from one machine, src-bin from
another, and src-eBones from the third.  This could be very very evil...
