We (the Plugins Development Team) discussed this internally, but we
haven't really reached a consensus on how to proceed.  Some concerns
have been raised regarding the added complexity and the amount of
refactoring necessary to check only for specified thresholds.

Either way, I guess we must acknowledge that we currently lack the
manpower to implement a new threshold syntax, which means we'll probably
stick to the current syntax for the time being.  So I'd say yes: Please
move ahead independently of us.  Personally I quite like the new syntax,
and if you settled on the details and it works well for you, we can
still decide on whether and how to adopt it :-)

Thanks a lot for your work on this!
