The reasons while not technical are more pragmatic. I want to ship this and 
get it in the hands of the users, right now (Or within a month). With a 6 
month release cycle, and Plasma being frozen, this becomes much harder. I'm 
sure you can respect that.

It goes without saying that these features should go into the Plasma Runner 
API.
