There hasn't been any work to date on monitoring and management support 
so still TBD whether fiber states will be exposed or whether it will be 
something completely different. It might be that only a small subset of 
fibers are interesting to monitor for example. The non-public 
Fiber.getState method you found is to support Thread.getState, e.g. a 
task executed by a fiber leaks Thread.currentThread() to something that 
monitors its state with Thread::getState.

For your usage, is this your own scheduler where the task completes when 
the fiber parks?
