Why shoudn't we use the PumpIO API?

Diaspora* needs an API, it's a fact. Why don't use the PumpIO API as MediaGoblin is doing? I am not a developer, I have no idea about APIs and about Diaspora* code (I know D* is coded in Ruby, but nothing more).
I think it could be a good option, I mean, it's finished and it could be a good choice for pumpIO/GNU Social Connection.
Please, excuse my english.

I agree on implementing the PumpIO API.
I don't know why developers are delaying so long to decide this.

If you look, you'll see that D* as a project has made lots of progress since becoming a community-run project. However, developing an API for decentralized applications and getting everything right can be challenging, especially if you're just a volunteer developing something.
The latest development on an API implementation can be found here.

Two years you are following the project and you never wrote code? @harrytuttle, I'm disappointed.
That's just a joke, don't take that seriously, but I start to become tired of "you should do that, I'm disappointed of what you are doing". We do not need to be reminded everytime about the work to do, we know it, and want to see it done more than everyone else. We need help, that's all.

^ Exactly what Sean and Fla have said.

what "central registry of applications" ?
the application is registered with the site you are connecting it to, i don't see any other sites involved in that process.
maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by "automatic registration".
