Hi Tengfei,

if we want (now or in the future) to support asynchronous responses (such
as the piggybacking case or if we want to aggregate confirmations) then the
token is handy. If we think that this mechanism will always be synchronous
and that concurrency will not be allowed then the state machine works.

my 2 cents :)
