Paul, AddImageStore is a new API added in 4.2, it has been designed like that to handle different meta information required by different image store provider. This API does not have any backwards compatibility issue. I was never aware of any community consensus to pass extra detail information for our API. Actually I followed the pattern used in existing APIs. I agee with you that This way to pass hash like detail information is indeed cumbersome, the better way is to use JSON body instead of putting everything as query parameters for such varying detail information.
