In this case the handler should have saved the result/outcome, the 
results of other unfinished tasks should not be needed.

An advanced case. The task should have saved the result/outcome before 
invoking shutdown. The result that it eventually terminates with or the 
results of other unfinished tasks should not be longer needed.

In the case the main task has the result/outcome or is aborting for some 
reason, the results of unfinished tasks should not be needed.

I assume here that all tasks have already finished so this is just the 
main task trying to prevent itself from starting new threads.
