This would certainly be something we need to address if we keep the
current framework.  The current implementation often uses synchronous
operations even if it can potentially block.  When system works
smoothly this may be okay but it can easily cause system-level failure
once one component starts acting strangely.

From a quick look others seem to be important, but right now I don't
have a particular suggestion of how to address these.
