Why do you need to know that?

The ManagedSelector behavior is controlled by the Threading Strategy.
Typically this is the EatWhatYouKill strategy.

Each task from a select() call is identified by the strategy for its
behavior, will it block? can it block? etc.
The Threading strategy also makes the call on if the task should execute,
invoke, or run.
The Threading strategy is also aware of the state of the ThreadPool when
making its decisions.  (eg: behaviors change when the thread pool has few
idle threads left)

In short, by the time you are in the EndPoint, you can make no assumptions
about behavior at the selector / threading strategy / thread pool /
executor.
