   I've also run into issues due to this design. There's a couple of use-cases where I'd like to be able to retrieve an activation record before it has finished....
   
   - Monitoring activation from non-blocking invoke. Currently you'd have to poll the record waiting for the 404 to disappear but it's a bit error prone in case the activation id was wrong. 
   
   - Checking for in-flight activations. I have an action connected to a timer that varies in execution duration. If the action takes too long to execute, the next trigger will fire before it has finished. If I could check for in-flight activations, the next action could exit instead of running.
