As I underestood, existing pipeline config files will not change? So users
will be used the same pipeline configuration they used before?
If this is true then you have my vote +1. It is important that users don't
need to change its configuration. Also, it would be nice if existing
pipeline stages don't need to be changed.

I agree that we need better control over configuration parameters. We
already have meta info object for each pipeline stage, so we just should use
it!

Is this change scheduled for 1.1 release?
