So here are the options as I see them. 1) postpone this new API until next release 2) propose the API as provisional (i.e. use x-internal etc) 3) work on the API as much as possible to gain confidence that it is API we can live with and support in future releases.
3) seems rather risky at this point in time. Is 2) an acceptable approach?

I'm not a real fan of this approach in the last week of M7. If bogus API gets into M7 then we'll have a hell of a time removing/changing it. We almost always end up regretting those last minute pushes. For the code itself I don't care but releasing API that is not baked is less than optimal.

I just attached a new patch taking the feedback into account. The focus is on API since this is the most pressing issue for the rest of the week. The code needs to be polished. If there is no objection I will release that during the week so we can actually work on the code together.

I took a look but am not sure what the final form is that you are thinking of. Susan had some comments and David as well. The original patch from you had a method getAgent() which seems suspect as it does effectively the ServiceHelper trick. Do you have any examples of this API in use. If you are going to look to release this please post a new patch with the proposed shape, some example use and mark for review. Ideally we could get John and/or DJ to review (I'll review as PMC guy). Please do not release until it has been reviewed. Jeff On 2011-04-18, at 5:22 PM, Pascal Rapicault wrote: Crap. Just a heads up that I stil need to release the new simplified API around the operations. I'll likely only get to that Friday.
