Anything goes, of course ...
However, Tramp's main purpose is to provide handlers for magic file name
operations. So it might be useful to introduce a general asynchronous
mode in dired first, and to add Tramp handlers later on.
There are also some problems to be solved, for example if you want to
access a file, which is being copied or removed. And how to indicate,
that an operation has been finished, and it is safe to access the
resulting file.
I vaguely remember there has been a discussion about, but I have no
pointer.
