I cannot think of any race conditions. Have you run into any problems so far?
What kind of problems are you thinking about?

The shutdown time should have been decreased a fair amount in version 3.10.4.
Can you estimate that amount of time it takes for you? I'm going to
investigate if it should be further decreased. Any other opinions on this?

Cheers,
Sebastian
