Yes, the plan is still to merge parameters and capabilities into a single 'options' term. This is largely about internal abstractions. I plan to get back to that part of the work as soon as I find some cycles. The further changes involving deprecations and adding the 'config' parameter to migration commands have encountered some push-back, so I don't think we'll get back to them at least before the above is all finished. I still think those changes are worthwhile, but we need to find consensus. > > ATB, > > Mark.
