Echo JS 0.11.0

It's pretty much the exception to the rule.  The main application I'm working on now isn't using SSR, so it doesn't hurt me to have a global __BASE__ state, this is where I inject configuration variables/options as well as a lot of the localization/strings.  There's also localStorage and sessionStorage.  Not *EVERYTHING* belongs in redux and there's no shame in putting a couple details like this outside that scope.

You are an heretic, don't do that, use middleware.

Middleware is one of the options that is mentioned.
