I'm going to go out of a limb and say yes. There is 102 (!!!) message long
email thread on the subject[1] that seems to have mostly come to a
conclusion thankfully. Unfortunately this feature was victum to heavy
bikeshedding[2].

I don't think there is anything we can add to it really, its basically done.
There are just many different view points on the level of abstraction and
how multi-threaded actions are handled (i.e. should it be safe to store on
self).
