Simple function call would be enough to solve the exact need at every single point of extension, so there is no need to defend my proposal. I this is the way you want to expand this, there is no need for my patch. It will make contributions even harder as they are now, because everybody needs to understand every piece of the code, wich is - please don't get me wrong - pretty hard without enough of documentation. Hooks make your life easier, as you enable contributions on a very low level with mostly defined APIs. The need really depends on how you want to mangage the existing code. If you want to touch it as little as possible, hooks are *one* of the ways that you can possibly go. I hope I pointed out the advantages. 2012/9/18 Lukas Fleischer <archlinux@cryptocrack.de>

Before reviewing this, could you please explain why hooks are advantageous here? Hooks are nice if you want to change entry points of a function invocation dynamically, such as in extensions or complex configurations, but I don't see how a hook framework is supposed to be superior to a simple function call here.
