Just a general thought on this - it's all very well deciding to not
support a feature like this in-tree because people can use out-of-tree
plugins, but IMHO that's only reasonable if we have backwards compat
guarantees around the API that out-of-tree plugins are using

A better alternative might be to add it as a plugin, but maintain that
plugin in-tree so that anyone making an API change which affects the
plugin also has to update it

Cheers,
Mark.
