As Monty has mentioned, I'd love for us to decide on one thing. As being
a moderator of that discussion I was trying not to be one-sided.

Whether or not a decision was made 1.5 years ago, the community that was
present at that time of the decision at the summit decided on an abstraction
layer to have options. Forcing an option on the community without gathering
feedback of what the community currently looks like is not a good idea.

I'd recommend if you want to make this base service, start the discussions in
somewhere other than the dev list, like the Forum.
