I guess I don't see how this does the job. One goal is to avoid doing
remote GetTime (ping) requests entirely for cells that you don't care
about, not simply pushing requests into the background. Might as well
eliminate doing the lookup on the remote root.cell volume and doing the
FetchStatus on its root dir, also.
