I actually disagree with that. Every feature we add to Thrift makes it less
approachable for everyone who isn't using it. Even if "a couple people" it, we
need to consider the cost for everyone else. Otherwise, Thrift will just
become a massive unnavigable pile of half-implemented special-purpose
features. (Mark Slee wrote a great email about this a few months ago, but I
unfortunately can't find it now.)
That said, I think it is also possible bundle "add-on"-type features like this
in the main codebase without considering them core components of Thrift. It
has the benefit of allowing internal API changes to hit both core and non-core
components at the same time, and obviously simplifies dependencies.
If we're going to go ahead with that, I'd feel more comfortable if we all
informally agree to think of this as an add-on component, rather than a
defining feature of Thrift. In fact, there are a lot of components already in
the source tree that I think we should think of like that. Examples include
the zlib transport in C++, the disklog transport in Erlang, and (IMO) all of
the HTTP clients and servers.
