Impulse Overlay in next non-expansion Sins versions?

from Sins Forums

Since Entrenchment's release, Impulse rolled out phase 3, with lots of nifty features such as the Impulse overlay, among other things.  I was wondering if there will be a patch before the next expansion making Sins compatible with these new features?

Sorry if this has been answered before.

I don't mind Impulse as a tool for updating the game, but whatever they do, I don't want it to start up automatically when I turn on my computer and I don't want to have to have the program open, eating up RAM and CPU, as a requirement of being able to play Sins.  You might say that I'm one of those "Leave Me Alone!" power users.

The overlay is part of Impulse Reactor, and isn't really related to the Impulse app. It's just a DLL that can be loaded by games for extra functionality.

Can/Will this be used for Sins now or in the future?  Can we apply this to any game/program, like Steam does?
