The timing may be different, but it seems in the interest of not just
users, if that technology once available can be used by servers or apps on
top of EE7 rather than having to wait an entire generation for 8.

While we have not discussed the API for it in such detail, it sounds
natural using SecurityManager, the platform provides to control this kind
of access. Even if some of it may have to be extended for the needs of 351,
and some of its main targets like Social Media or the Cloud.
