> Some of the grief stems from the synchronous APIs exposed by the 'tracker' to the embedder. Satisfying those sync requests is troublesome. Altering those webkit level interfaces to be async would provide a little breathing room.

The sync interfaces have shipped, and as a policy with the WebKit project we don't break backwards compatibility without at least a deprecation period.

The first step to resolving that headache would be to add a new async interface, which would allow us to deprecate the old interface.
