Another thing to keep in mind is clearly separating the simple API & extensibility APIs. For example, if you take Clustering, sending messages, getting the member list and so on are the "simple" APIs. The interfaces for defining a new clustering implementation should be part of the advanced API (in this case, it is the advanced clustering SPI). Another example would be the deployment component. Calling it to trigger deployment, getting deployment data/stats would be part of the simple API, and defining new deployers would be part of the advanced API.
