We do not have a p.a.a2, if we did it would be public :) The only thing we do have is a consensus that it's hard to extend the existing API, which is great for simple things but if you want to do more you have to go to the zc.async level. This led us to decide that *if* we were going to do anything with it properly we would have to break the API and make a p.a.async 2. There has been no progress on this however, as neither me or Stefan have had the time to work on it. Don't let this block you from doing your own thing if you like, code is getting better by people trying different things.
