I saw some discussion about askUnordered by @ktoso and @patriknw in #24325. Is there still some prospect to add to streams API or is this ruled out? I'd be happy to make a PR.
I have a (perhaps unusual) use-case where I specifically _want_ my actor to process messages out-of-order. Its mailbox implements a first-in-random-out queue. This is for a Monte Carlo scheme.
Thanks in advance.

No strong feelings about it nowadays... I think it could be useful but wonder if really worth it hm

Could be worth it for consistency with mapAsync/mapAsyncUnordered ?

Thinking some more about this, I think yours is really a weird edge case, but, I can also imagine an actor query that you want to include in a stream that doesn't just offload some work to a single actor but rather makes it spawn some session actor etc, meaning that the order of the responses is when each job completes, so for this more general case such an operator would also make sense.
Please PR this if you like!
