So, before if multiple workers need to be created, a single manager would create them all. After, we'd end up daisy chaining, right? One manager creates one worker and goes to process one work item. The new worker wakes up and becomes the manager and creates another worker and so on. That doesn't seem like a desirable behavior.
Thanks.
