Re: Application API

Hm, any idea why that hasn't been merged?  That's an awful long time with
no response.  It seems like there's a lot more interest from non-Zmanda
folks than Zmanda folks for the last year+.

Perhaps it's time to consider a fork?

Can someone from Zmanda comment on why this PR has been left open, and why
so few commits in the last year?
