What Endre says is correct and answers part of the question, but an interesting 
piece remains: would there be value in providing utilities (i.e. abstract base 
classes) for implementations of the RS interfaces? This can only be answered 
from experience gained with different such efforts, and I, too, would be 
interested in hearing Michał’s opinion.

Regards,

Roland
