Be sure to file a bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+filebug with your use
case(s), what API is missing. So the OptionSelector can be improved for
everyone using the SDK. Better yet, post about it with the bug URL here
afterwards, so more people are aware of it.

I totally agree sometimes throwing new components or fixes into your app
is the way to find out if they work fine for you. But you have to
actually carry the results of that back to where one can see it. If you
look at the expandable list items you are the only one who mentions what
app needs the API, no app is "affected" by the bug in Launchpad, nobody
commented on whether they tried it out in a real app (other than Michael
obviously who has his apps on the radar). And then you end up with
another component which lands, and which just gets silently copied and
only fixed for that app. Let's not enter a vicious circle.

ciao,
