   Right. Because a) no existing code exists yet; b) before such code appear, new API will 
become years old.
   You are too optimistic about external datasource feature. BLOB filter API exists from 
the beginning. How many third-party BLOB filters you know? UDF API is even older. How many 
years passed before libraries like rfunc stop crashing server?.. It was a joke: rfunc 
still do that.
