I think this makes sense.

When we introduce this new state, we might also tackle the jira a
mentioned. If there is a global thread, on startup of a `KafakStreams`
client we should not transit to `REBALANCING` but to the new state, and
maybe also make the "bootstrapping" non-blocking.

I guess it's worth to mention this in the KIP.

Btw: The new state for KafkaStreams should also be part of the KIP as it
is a public API change, too.
