No there are no plans to allow deactivation of rendering in
background. I think it would be a step back... it would bring
inconsistent user experience and more code complexity. I understand it
brings a bit of inconvenience to some plugins, but at the same time I
believe it would take less time to fix problems with all affected
plugins than introduce again the rendering in main thread (and options
for plugins to request it).
