Yep, you are right, PushdataToVoSpace is asynchronous.
However, the client is controlling the push, so it already knows when it
has finished sending the data.
We need status callbacks (and status polling) when the server is
responsible for doing the transfer itself and the client is not involved
(e.g. client asks one service to send to another).
I too would like to implement asynchronous transfers properly, with
notification callbacks etc.
However, I thought that we decided these would go into v2.0 because we
hadn't finalized exactly how this would work yet.
Getting agreement on v1.0 is proving difficult enough. Lets concentrate on getting v1.0 done and then we can add all the interesting things in v2.x.
