I will do that.

I may have misunderstood this part and you may be right. I have to
re-analyze more carefully.

it may be working fine on OE ThreadPool and I misunderstood that

I don't know but it starts working when I add the thread safe collections.

What you mean by this is that there are builds on the autobuilder that uses
the sstate mirror
and others that use some shared sstate cache filesystem?

As you previously said and as the sstate mirror is available for the
community,
I think and I will try to add some tests for that.
I still don't know how to do it but I'll think about it.

Another thing about this RFC series is that I think I need to do it in a way
that it can be backported for dunfell if we need to do that.

I will spend more time on this during this week.
Thanks for your always valuable comments.

Jose
