I don't know what to say here. I think it's unrealistic to believe
that a very new API that has only 1 in-core user is going to be fully
stable, or that we can know how it might evolve. I can understand why
you and probably other people want that, but if somebody figures out a
way to make some part of core significantly better and it requires
changing that API, they're going to change the API, not give up on the
idea.
