I think Michael is looking into it? I'd really like to get it into
2.9. We should do it in conjunction with 831 since they are so tied.
Yeah me too. I think eventually we want this to be a Codec, but we
probably don't want to wait until all the flexible indexing work is done.
So maybe we should just not worry too much about a perfectly integrated
API yet and release it as experimental API with 2.9 and 3.0, just like
we did with the initial payloads implementation. Then when we hopefully
get flexible indexing and codecs into 3.1 we can rework CSF and
integrate it as a Codec.
As I recently mentioned on 1231 I'm looking into changing the Document
and Field APIs. I've some rough prototype. I think we should also try to
get it in before 2.9? On the other hand I don't want to block the 2.9
release with too much stuff.
