Hi Mark,

This is available in some shape and form and we need to finalize it before
making it a public interface. Personally, I prefer to call it the admin
addons. This is because what is true with commands is also true with admin
console or any programmatic interface that an addon would like to provide.

Unfortunately, we are still trying to decide what the best way forward is,
because we have to look for promise of V3 in this regard. There are differences
in how you would do in V2 and V3.

Is your next release planned along with V3 release? If it is, then we will
certainly have a way to do this. If not, we might have to do some work in
releasing a solution that may not work with V3.

Please let me know ...

Regards,
Kedar
