Yeah, this sounds great!

I agree that the changes should land ASAP for the reasons you gave. Now, here 
is the deal. We release beta 1 this week (Thursday), which freezes the API. 
All changes should be in by Wednesday. However, if your changes are just 
**additions** to the API, I am willing to include them for beta 2. If you 
need to change the API to make your changes work, please do so in the next 
couple of days.

Can you live with that?

Regards,
Stephan
