No, we do not suport thread cancellation and have no intention to do
so. Quite frankly I believe that thread cancellation is an inherently
flawed concept.

sd-bus is generally threads-aware, but not thread-safe. i.e. we have
concepts such as having a per-thread default bus, but we will not do
locking and we will not do cancellation.

Sorry,

Lennart
