Can you think of a reason why we shouldn't just not accept AMI connections until Asterisk is fully loaded?

Personally, I'm Ok with that since we really only care whether or not Asterisk is fully booted or not. I can't think of any circumstances where we could actually miss a FullyBooted event, though, which is the important thing. If we need to bother with locking, we can do that too of course. :-)
