Stefan,

 1. I don't understand why you plan on releasing the Capture API at a
    different time from the core WebRTC API. To me, the design decisions
    in one affect the other, and as such all related APIs should be
    released at the same time.
 2. There seems to be a misunderstanding. I was talking about the use of
    DOM Futures in the Core API, not the Capture API (though obviously
    the latter would also gain from using it). I see no indication that
    the Core API will be released in the near future, hence many of the
    arguments against the use of DOM Futures for the Capture API do not
    hold for the Core API.
