Getting useful feedback and having final implementations ready in the future for this type of change relies on putting this in the hands of as many people as possible. That's why the API changes use @beta annotations (and I believe we would be the first ones using it), to get new functionality in the hands of users asap, improve the velocity of new feature delivery while ensuring that stability is not affected.
