is the support proposal stable enough for library authors to use? i would like to include this in one of my repos, but i'm not sure/i don't think i can keep track if there are going to be many changes.

[Eomm]

That spec is still in draft, and after the feedback received at the summit, we will apply some changes for sure.

So I would suggest to don't use it right now.
