That's right.
In my case deferring the GET call will not be a problem since this
objects will be used in just a few particular places and the workflow
is always something like:

# Initiate firmware building
node.ctl.firmware()
# wait until finished
while node.ctl.firmware.progress < 100:
   time.sleep(1)


Thanks for sharing your knowledge guys !!
