Hi, full +1 wrt. next steps and any help is obviously welcome. I'll hopefully find some time to work on integration of HDT as storage backend soon, which might be a good chance to also finally integrate a sink. But before doing that i'll probably focus on releasing 5.0.0, which i had pushed away to free some time.
