I think this is a good idea and your proposed changes look good. I also think that this might be a good time to adopt KIP-185 ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-185%3A+Make+exactly+once+in+order+delivery+per+partition+the+default+producer+setting), and make the idempotent producer the default mode. We missed the window on 1.0.0 because we hadn't completed necessary work. But we should have it done by June 2018.
