It is a fair question! I think perhaps we should consider renaming them since
they are no longer in fact used for driving any easy interface state machine.

They are however still used for a blocking-mode state machine: ftp_quit() is
the only user of ftp_easy_statemach() since it (still) relies on a synchronous
function to do the full request and response. The other protocols have similar
uses.
