We did have exactly the same discussion when the DT transition was started - this isn't something that people only just realised might be an issue. There was a deliberate decision to focus on getting the technology deployed to the point where it could be used as a straight replacement for board files and accept that sometimes the results won't be perfect and that we may need to rework as a result. To be clear the idea has always been to try for bindings that can be stable but we didn't have the process to guarantee that and there were substantial barriers in place to creating it while there was no critical mass behind adoption. What people are saying now is that we're now at a point where it looks like those barriers can be overcome.
