Odi, I am afraid we are unlikely to get more feedback unless we manage to expand our potential user base. There are enough people / companies who just will not touch beta (let alone alpha) software. The question is: do we anticipate any major rewrites or sweeping changes in the code base? If yes, we should hold off the API freeze. If not, we stand a better change of getting more people interested in HttpCore by giving them a stable API and incrementally improving it while maintaining the backward compatibility.
