Dewalt,

We can't do everything at once. We can't release everything at once. We have
to pick the biggest return features, then let the features trickle down
where possible. Everything in user streams can be applied to service streams
in good time, but there are privacy issues and some tricky scale issue to be
sorted out before we can do service integrations on much of this data.

This feature couldn't have saved you any effort -- it hasn't even been
released yet. We're in a preview period way way out in front of launch. This
was clear in my doc. We're giving you long range guidance.

Seriously.
