I haven't looked at how ISPN does this today, but here are some thoughts given how we
do this within the transaction system for ACID transactions:
(i) have you considered async prepare?
(ii) async commit/rollback could involve an external audit component to capture the
outcome of the transaction, which can be inspected later. Many years ago the OTS and CORBA
Notification Service did this together.
(iii) if you don't allow heuristics then there are guarantees with async
commit/rollback.

1. Async options for commit/rollback
- they don't really make sense as a user you don't get any guarantee on the
status of the transaction
- they complicate the code significantly
- I think they should be removed
