If so, then this change introduces the possibility for normal users to

Am I missing something?

Yup, connector is very async at that place, but I wonder why the hell I
ever made that decision. I believe we can replace it with pure sync call
of the registered connector callback, since netlink is synchronous and
no one has any problem with it.
