A breach of immutability due to memory implicit conversions to immutable without synchronisation, maybe??

The data simply remains in processor cache.

You mean relaxed order? Looks like llvm has better description
for that http://llvm.org/docs/Atomics.html#monotonic it's a
synchronization, just weak - synchronizes only one variable, not
the entire cache, and why you need full synchronization on
decrement - because you may need to run the destructor, which
needs the latest state of the object and everything it references.
