Question for Stefan:

• With the upcoming wardrobe changes, every equipment item (armor, back, and weapon types) will be able to unlock a skin in the wardrobe.
• On the wiki, we would like to be able to document this by listing the skin in the item’s infobox at one end, then at the other end be able to list all the items that share a skin.
• So the question is this: Is there any chance that a “skin_id” or similar element can be added to the item_details data structure for these item types?

With all this new features going live on April 15th it is really needed info about what will happen on API side.
I don’t think we will see OAuth, but changes on critical damage, sigils on two-handed weapons, item skins, live events, etc.., will impact the API v1.
Will we have to wait and discover changes? Will we have a period of time with the API not synchronized with updated GW2 data? Will we have to expect other not obvious changes?
