what you said makes perfectly sense, 2.0.0 is not justified ATM, I just had in mind the [digester] case, which had to be an exception, once the [pool] case came back in my mind, it reminded me the right workflow. I don't have enough time to do a major rewrite, I am rolling back the version to 1.2.3 and do minor updates.
