Josh is representing some users too. But just in case I suggest, that we
wait at least 2-3 days before we commit such interface changes, to give
yet anomymous (in the world which are not in the German/Finish/US
eastcoast timzone) users a chance to comment on this. I also discussed
with Alex that we might want to enhance our ubi-utils to support the old
and new interfaces to avoid possible trouble before we include the
changes.
