In a distributed environment, a synchronous get() is done if not available locally regardless of whether the comms are sync or async. So, unless you Flag.SKIP_REMOTE_LOOKUP, the return values are safe. I'll add a comment on this.

Obviously, the case of async API, you need to keep the notifying future around and call get to find out about the return value.
