I'm sorry but I'm really not happy with this conversion; it looses the very nice property of being able to execute and synchronize between places at the end just before device registration.
I don't mind the implementation sharing thread pool with your stuff, but I really really want to keep the cookie and synchronization mechanism. There's a bunch of users of that pending and doing things sequential entirely just is not going to cut it.
