Well, the final yes will be delayed but we can do releases between
this since the current UI won't be touched.

I want to release a 1.9.0 release as soon as possible so we can make
visible what're working on for others. I think this shouldn't be used
for production use but it would allow others to add support for it
while it's envolving.

Yes, indeed. Let's see what the others think about it.
