We (the Plugins Development Team) discussed this internally, but we
haven't really reached a consensus on how to proceed. Some concerns
have been raised regarding the added complexity and the amount of
refactoring necessary to check only for specified thresholds.
Either way, I guess we must acknowledge that we currently lack the
manpower to implement a new threshold syntax, which means we'll probably
stick to the current syntax for the time being. So I'd say yes: Please
move ahead independently of us. Personally I quite like the new syntax,
and if you settled on the details and it works well for you, we can
still decide on whether and how to adopt it :-)
Thanks a lot for your work on this!
