Some discussion from the review that I meant to add here:

I imagine this being used for more cosmetic changes, rather than
functional changes. Situations like other projects wishing to modify
logo/brand availability or adding custom menu options without
maintaining a full fork of lualoader.

At some point, progress will slow down and we'll be able to figure out
what we can guarantee API wise. Documentation will also come, probably
sooner rather than later.
