If anything, the API makes it more difficult to deal with. It would
actually be harder/messier to handle without an action.

I guess the larger issue is: once that code will be merged, we're going
to have patches to convert to actions because they make it nicer and fix
a couple of issues anyway.

So, if it's still the state we're going to end up in, why not doing it
right from the beginning?
