I think this email was the beginning of a long process of redesigning 
IDatasetForm. At this early point I was bothered about not breaking 
backwards-compatibility. But at some point, we decided the whole 
interface needed to be completely changed and since it was for the big 
2.0, we forgot about backwards-compatibility.

I think if there are known use-cases where more params are needed, those 
params could be added
