Jay, That makes sense. I think what folks are bringing up all sounds great but I feel can/should be done afterwards as further improvements as the scope for this change has a very specific focus to resolve problems folks have today with --generate (with a patch tested and ready to go ). I should be able to update the KIP this week and followup.
