Fair enough, would be nice to see an alternative to:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/blob/master/src/hooker.js#L155

If you multiply that pattern across many projects with different 'styles' of writing it, complexity really adds up.

Promises.join([a,b,c]).run().then(...)    // parallel
Promises.join([a,b,c]).setExecution('serial').run().then(...) // serial?

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#SERIAL_EXECUTOR

As I was writing this, I saw the async proposal:
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:async_functions&s=async

await would be king for serial execution of animations or file system tasks.

It's all a bit confusing but going in an interesting direction,

Cheers,
