Further on the async/sync thing.

Glad to see that you make a distinction between short and long run calls.

And yes the short run calls can return their result immediately.

But I would suggest that all long run calls by default are executed in async mode and just return a (task) id.

Running these commands in an sync way is just too risky and sooner or later will result in a time out error.

So I would like to suggest to let go on the -nowait option and turn things around.

->Long run commands (like compose) run in an async way by default and XPP just returns a task id.

If you do not want this, you add the -wait option...

Up to engineering to define what calls are executed as 'long'/nowait/async and what calls get executed as short/wait/sync.

I strongly believe that this will result in a lot less 'bad' implementations.
