I understand that.  But, what if users DO use it?  What happens when we
release 1.1 with these features in there that eliminate the processModule()
methods in RegistryBuilder and replace them with another method like
addModuleDescriptor()?  I guess one solution would be to "cripple"
RegistryBuilder by ONLY allowing constructDefaultRegistry().  Then, in 1.1,
we would allow it to be more robust.  Another solution would be to deprecate
the other stuff in the 1.0 release telling users that there will be a
different mechanism for customizing the registry in 1.1 (use at your own
discretion).  Maybe the deprecation would be better, since there are
actually users out there already using it.

I'm not sure how the internal restructuring will affect users, even if
it widely affects HiveMind?  Typical users will use HiveMindFilter or
RegistryBuilder.getDefaultRegistry() and those will likely not change.
The extra options will only be visible to advanced users.

I really don't want to hold up 1.0!
