yup that would be how you can do that right now. i mean, I had this vision of SA being used inside of frameworks which would provide their own hooks for these kinds of things, i.e. post- query etc. which is why i dont like to add too many hooks *inside* unless absolutely necessary.
but yah if populate_instance() is doing it for you I dont see anything wrong with that....(did you want a post_populate_instance() hook or something like that ?)
