I wouldn't take that as meaning anything one way or another, having
worked with Ethan for a few years now. Right now, it seems he's just
coding v2. And when he's in that mode, there tends to be scant traffic
from him except on major bugs. I do the same to some extent -- I have
intentionally not looked at this, because I do need to get plugins 1.4
wrapped up.

I'd suggest 

1) granting the benefit of the doubt that Ethan is following the thread
at a overview level (at least)

2) planning to bring the topic up again shortly after v2 is released.

Submitting straw-man implementations may even be appropriate, provided
they are done against the v2 codebase. But of course that is best done
by people who have experience with the reality that of all the code
written, only some small percentage makes it to production.
