Because of what I wrote above: As Olivier said about rte_trace, "Since it's a new API, it makes sense to make it as good as possible for the first version." The intent is to show an API as simple as possible in order to have a maximum of developers integrating it, and getting more interesting feedbacks. In other words, we want to make your work shine for prime time.
