At this time (and while this feature is being worked on) we have problems with shutdown and recovery. The up side is that 1) we know about them and 2) we are actively working on closing the gab. As such I am weary of introducting temporary measures visible to users that will have to be maintained in the future. I'd rather simply acknowledge that something is broken. I will take into account your comments on the bindings (which I haven't looked at yet). From there I expect to spin off another revision early to middle of next week. If we get this part in for the v5.11 cycle then only crash scenarios will be left to address.
