Hm, perhaps, though I'd like to address that in a separate patch.

For this patch, once you get the documentation updates in, we can probably go ahead with it.

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. :-)
