Alberto, I don’t think the intention is to avoid, discourage adding a new method...As you have seen any changes to the API or adding a new API has implications on other parts of the product, it is good to validate/verify and address the dependency across the product and get everything working in accordance (without breaking any compatibility). If you have any requirement please propose through RFC and get an approval.

My question is if the goal of this change is to forbid this type of changes in minor versions or if there is a process to follow in order for changes of this type to be added. I wanted to propose (in an RFC) the addition of a new parameter to the create gateway sender command that would require adding a new method to the GatewaySender interface as well as to other public interfaces and I was wondering if this will be possible at all, and if so, how should I proceed with it. Thanks, Alberto
