Why? You understand VDI from 'inside', you can always make a proposal
and let other comment it (esp. Johan, as he is an author of fVDI ;)
Maybe you'll get some critics but if, in your eyes, wont be convincing
enough, you can still say "this is how I done it, feel free to do it
better". Even if Johan wont agree, it's GPL, you can fork it. No harm
done, no code power wasted.

One more reason to do it in that way then :)

And another one more reason for you! :)

I say Peter, go ahead, if your time and motivation allows it. I see no
point in wasting time or waiting for someone with superpowers for
designing APIs. Do your best, publish is and take the best from the
feedback.
