I'm thinking if we can come up with a valid interface quick enough (over the next week or two) I'd put it in 2.2.0 along with the "easy" implementations (evict, shutdown). The more interesting implementations of MergeHandlers can (a) come later, or (b) be implemented by the client if they are in a rush for it. If we can't come up with a satisfactory interface in the next 2 weeks I'll defer this for 3.x.
