I guess I just don't see the advantage here over just making our existing API more top-level-oriented, ala: update_configuration(pof) backup_configuration(filename) update_firmware(pof) backup_firmware(filename) set_time() get_time() reset() I totally buy your argument that update_configuration should reset and set time. > In practice, users can press CTRL-C while running any application, or > click the cancel button in congruity (which will abort between > libconcord API calls right now), or just unplug their remote.

Sure, but then you KNOW your breaking out of a program in the middle, as opposed to a nice "cancel" button that implies a nicer cancel.
