I was wondering do we really need a launcher on standby to invoke
sync-slot worker. If so, why? I guess it may be required for previous
versions where we were managing work for multiple slot-sync workers
which is also questionable in the sense of whether launcher is the
right candidate for the same but now with the single slot-sync worker,
it doesn't seem worth having it. What do you think?
