I thought a coordinator can also reject requests for _any_ reason and it's very user specific whatever that reason is. If we have such a case (that it is very user specific what to do exactly) this should be able to be controlled by the user space to have there a logic to tell the kernel to accept or reject the association. However, I am fine with this solution, but I think we might want to change this behaviour in the future so that an application in the user space has the logic to tell the kernel to accept or reject an association. That would make sense? - Alex
