I guess the difference is pretty minimal. The reason for the 
complication is that historically, Bind Success was only sent by the 
frontend (to avoid certain race conditions) and so the usual callback 
flow didn't work there (because most callbacks were already popped off 
before returning back to the frontend). Since we're now using callbacks 
anyway, I think it's actually possible now to straighten this all out 
and treat Bind the same as the other operations, and have the backends 
send both Success and Fail results directly.
