I agree with Erik on this point, but I don't think this is actually an
architectural issue, but rather a matter of design.  I'd encourage the
folks involved to handle it off of the ARC mailing list.

The other issue -- lack of IP Instances information -- is
architectural, as it involves the support of one project by another.
As long as we're suffering a pair of linked patches to get to the new
API here, it does seem reasonable to say that we could include the
required arguments to make stack instances work in the future.

As long as we're paying the patching complexity price now, is there a
specific reason to _avoid_ doing that?
