There are lots of ways to patch something together if you just want to get feedback on what you're doing from users... That might actually provide good data for the very codereview and design discussion taking place. It's not like external parties can start using what you have in production environments or regular development processes if the very ABI is still in flux, but maybe I don't understand something.</div>
