It's funny because for me the API looks robust, configurable and nice to
use [1]. I could use it outside of virtualization space (I already
mentioned two applications).

Your criticism is for me way too abstract. I have hard time following
it.

This is a nice incremental step. By no means it's perfect but something
that would satisfy a lot of users for things that they want do now (like
me).

[1] I've been still too busy to try this out in order to say the final
    word.
