> When a component loses a service dependency, it should handle the lost service synchronously. For example, if service A loses a dependency on B (because B is being unregistered),  then A.remove(B) should be called synchronously (when B is being unregistered from the service registry), else the A.remove(B) callback could possibly be invoked while B is already unregistered and stopped.
> Currently, unbound services may be handled asynchronously if DM is used in a concurrent mode (using a threadpool). And even if no threadpool is used, the issue may happen if there is a highly concurrent situation where services are registered/removed concurrently from multiple threads.
> So, a patch should be done in order to ensure that a service dependency remove event is always handled synchronously (especially if DM is used with a threadpool).
> I will provide a testcase soon.
