Especially since it's a part of the subsystem that has to deal with memory management, object lifetime and asynchronousness quite a lot and we had a history of issues there. So it could be interesting to hear everyone's thoughts. That said, I wouldn't be able to travel this time unfortunately, so it would be nice if we could arrange this topic in a time slot friendly for remote attendance from Japan. Also +Hidenori Kobayashi from my team who would also be interested in joining remotely. Best, Tomasz
