Hi Torsten, By we, I mean the GT team. I thought this should have been quite clear given the gt prefix and where this code is packaged :).
We do not want to keep it a secret, but we only go to the community when we have something significant to say. Sometimes the reaction takes a short time, sometimes it takes longer. In this case, it is longer. I promised to provide a summary of what we have in mind with examples, and I will do that. I just need a bit more time.
