I was only speaking about a document to explain the async options; but you  
mention rewriting ALL the thread docs.

So now i don't know if you're thinking in a timeframe that removes the  
necessity for my patch or not.

Can you please clarify if this was meant to be a "yes, we'll write an  
async options document", or "we plan to do lots of stuff here, so you can  
stop worrying completely"?

Also, since i couldn't participate in the hangout, could i see the  
document? This is highly relevant to my interests and i would like to  
contribute.
