Conventions Roadmap for EF7
entity-framework-core
Question
I'd like to get a clearer picture of the roadmap for Code First conventions for EF7. Presently there are three implementations of IEntityTypeConvention:
- KeyConvention
- PropertiesConvention
- RelationshipDiscoveryConvention
Are there plans for achieving parity with EF6 CF conventions? For example, I don't see something like the PluralizingTableNameC convention. Also, what are plans for the API for customizing conventions?

As Anthony mentioned in his comment, this is currently on our backlog to be implemented - https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework/issues/214.
The API for custom conventions will likely look quite different from EF6 because of the new metadata API and our change to make ModelBuilder incrementally build a model rather than storing a bunch of configuration and then building the model when needed.
