Suppose that while binding to the data (inside onBindViewHolder ), you figure out some item should be removed.
You can't remove it right away (will cause IllegalStateException), and you can't use a Handler either, especially if you delay it (which will cause the wrong data to still be shown).

We need an official API that will pause the binding in order to change the items.
After we are done with the changes, the binding can continue or start all over again.

An alternative would be an API that will allow to perform the changes after the binding is fully completed, but still allow to add the preparations within the onBindViewHolder callback.
