In my opinion; yes, you SHOULD abandon the idea of Private interfaces. In the "new world order" of supposedly "open" solaris, the lowest case should be something like "unstable". Someone mentioned "Volatile" later in this email thread; however, there appears to be some kind of additional implications about declaring an interface "volatile", in sun terminology, so that's why I didnt just suggest using "volatile" instead of "unstable". Perhaps someone could explain the specifics of that label.
