​Ben,

I believe Zhou Yu is actually seeking input from the broader community on
the feature itself; not the review.

I wasn't overly enthusiastic about adding the feature and to me the
argument of "instances do it" isn't necessarily the best reason to do
something.  I'm torn on whether I think it's a good feature to implement or
not given that I think there are some complexities it introduces that may
not be worthwhile.

Anyway, I'm fairly open to hearing more input (maybe from some users in the
community?) to get some input on how valuable or needed this feature
actually is.

Thanks,
John​
