Hi Richard, Thanks for the invitation! I do think it would be safer to introduce a new poll method than to change the semantics of the old one. I've been mulling about whether the new one could still have (slightly different) async semantics with a timeout of 0. If possible, I'd like to avoid introducing another new "asyncPoll".
I'm planning to run some experiments and dig into the implementation a bit more before solidifying the proposal. I'll update the KIP as you suggest at that point, and then can call for another round of reviews and voting.
