Peter may have advocated for that kind of across-the-board adoption;
my leaning is more to add an API that /can/ be adopted, initially with
separately-linked extensions as the audience. Nothing would stop it being
used in core as well, but no reason to change any site where it did not
offer an advantage.

I generally tend to be an incrementalist.
