What do you mean by "unbound virtual engine"? Previous siblings[0]? We 
do know that has been completed, at the point the next one is getting 
dequeued, and by the virtue of breadcrumbs doing the signaling it will 
have been removed from the list. But that was true before. Which leaves 
me confused as to why the transfer was needed.. Was it just because 
explicit wait used to be a potential signaler and that's no longer the case?

Tvrtko
