Objects may become undrained as other objects become drained (e.g. a bus-bridge has a packet, while a bus is empty, and the first drain() will cause the bus-bridge to give the packet to the bus). The only case we know every object is actually drained is if they all return immediately that they are drained. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 80057a1d6d30381bd0b67b23549bd202f447c5cb
