> The motivation behind the `**kwargs` proposal was to make it possible to allow consumers to specify arbitrary arguments without seeing errors because a particular producer doesn't support that argument. > .. > or we need the protocol's signature to be flexible enough to accommodate any call from the consumer without raising an exception solely on the basis of certain arguments not being supported. My understanding was that we only want to allow the consumer to pass a _default_ without raising an exception. As a producer, if any parameter with a non-default value is passed that the producer in question does not support, it should still raise an error? But from your above post, it seems you are arguing for actually silencing any errors? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
