Description

If I remember correctly and it hasn't changed, wasi-snapshot-preview2 isn't going to rely on async features, but this repo still uses stream and future in its .wit.

Research direction

Inspect the repository's .wit definitions and compare the Preview 2 requirements with the current uses of stream and future. Remove those async features if they are no longer required, then verify that the affected interfaces no longer reference them and that the repository checks pass.
