Not necessary, no.

Unbinding a name is one way to show an object no longer exists.
However, most objects you bind into the naming service tend to be
"persistent", in the sense that they are always expected to exist (not
necessarily persistent in a POA sense), so you might as well leave
obsolete entries in the naming service and let clients catch the
exceptions when they try to contact the object.

Call orb->shutdown() from another thread.
