Details

This API is currently quite awkward, and code which uses it has to contort itself in various ways to satisfy arbitrary thread-safety requirements (such as wrapping everything in ThreadSafeRefPtr and AtomicCell). A more modern interface like the spawn APIs being added in bug 1739727 handles every one of these situations better than the existing APIs, allowing for more clear ownership transfer with rust's futures.

This bug is to track cleaning up the existing consumers of the old API so we can eventually strip it out.
