Hi,

My guess is that it's because it's cumbersome.
Sometimes, you'd like to write something like:
for machine in services(type=_workstation._tcp)
do
shutdown $machine
done
Using the call-back API makes it hard to express such simple things.
FWIW, I'm planning to add a "threaded" API to Guile-Avahi, whereby the
event loop would be run in a separate thread. User threads would send
requests such as "list all services of a given type" to the
event-processing thread and would block until the event-processing
thread is done (e.g., until "ALL_FOR_NOW" or an error is caught).
Thanks,
Ludovic.
