All,
Seems to me that all the options are on table now, and it's probably time to pick one and move forward. I can set up a poll, but based on what I read, I can almost predict the winner based on the 4 experts that were part of this discussion.
The compromising solution seems be: (i) drop FilterAction and use void (ii) use setResponse() or a renamed version of it to signal termination. This is a very small change and, I think, what was originally proposed by Sergey.
Can we all compromise and go with this or shall I setup up a poll to resolve this?

The whole client interface is littered with the same kind mistakes and it just becomes aggravating and frustrating the more times you see it and the more times you have to argue over something simple.
