Currently, provider.isInstallAllowed() is synchronous. This works for the core providers, but there are cases where other providers would benefit from this being async. eg, looking up a whitelist/blacklist database.

Is this necessary for anything right now? We have a problem in that the InstallTrigger API is fixed and requires a synchronous result, changing that API is a lot harder than changing the API for extensions.

No - more of a "we should do this eventually".

Short of implementing a new InstallTrigger API I don't think we can do this.
