I agree that mixing an asyncio based httpserver with application logic
using cooperative multithreading is not a good idea.  Happily that is
not the proposal.  The proposal is that the webserver be a separate
process from the rest of Zuul, it would be an independently scaleable
component, and *only* the webserver would use asyncio.
