Don't the callers need to know about this? They would assume things are already initialized when this returns, but it's not? So you'd get new race conditions?

Good catch! As temporary work around we are now spinning the event loop until the remote policies are fetched.

This will cause the policy to be removed because it doesn't go in parsedPolicies, unclear if that is what you want.

Good point! I didn't change that behavior. But let's re-think this :)
We have two options when encountering invalid parameters:
- Policy is currently active: We can remove the policy or keep it active with unchanged parameters. I think I prefer the latter. It's seems more intentional. In both ways we can warn in the logs about invalid parameters.
- Policy is currently inactive: Do nothing.
