Yeah, I'm not sure that would be worth the extra complexity and using the old API
would "keep" the issue we're trying to solve here.

I don't think we should be worried that much by the number of extensions impacted
but more about the change complexity and it looks pretty simple.

So, I don't think we should worry that much in that regard.

I agree. I don’t think the API changes are a big 
deal, especially when they reduce the number of
of steps.
