Create a separate addon for exposing Firebase service?

[mikkopaderes]

What are everyone's thoughts on an addon that simply exposes a Firebase service?

I think a problem on a community developed addon for Firebase is being reliant on emberfire for the firebase and firebaseApp service which is lagging behind in terms of version. Here's an example of my use-case, I have an ember-firebaseui addon that could move up to the 2.x version of firebaseui-web which supports phone auth if it's using an up-to-date Firebase version.

With this, community based addons can now target the latest Firebase without creating their own Firebase service that will do firebase.initializeApp(). Not to mention having more than 1 firebase.initializeApp() can introduce clashes. EmberFire then, could simply target a lower version of that Firebase service addon if it can't support yet the latest one. I can also imagine that getting updates on that addon will be quicker since it would pretty much just be a matter of updating the dependency in it's package.json. EmberFire team would be able to update it easily.

Is this something that the EmberFire team would entertain?

Why not kee updated this addon with the last one version of ember api and firebase ?
I started a fresh 2.16 ember application and I think emberfire isn't use new module API. I'm very sad with that.
