It's easier to develop an async API and layer sync on top than to first develop a sync API and later re-whack it into an async API. Of course, it's easier to develop a sync API and stop there, but really, we need async interfaces -- everything seems to nowadays (from GUI programming, starting decades ago, to Ajax now).
