You can go ahead and submit this on the github
site(https://motion-project.github.io/) as a pull request and it can be
discussed.
Generally, I like the approach but would like to think through all the
scenarios and perhaps see if there is an even more generic option.? e.g.
Should Motion just set the environment say once per second during an
event and let a on_event_start script read them and determine whether to
invoke the move?
Regarding production vs experimental, I did edit the official
documentation recently on this so users have been warned.
