Methods childrenAdded, childrenRemoved and childrenReordered are called with Children.MUTEX.writeAccess which guarantees that no other thread can change the hierarchy during that time, but also requires proper implementation of all NodeListeners which should avoid calls to other threads which might require access to Children.MUTEX due to changes nodes hierarchy or do any other kind of starvation.
