Then what you work on is not a 1.0 release but a 1.x or 2.x release, see
the DeviceAtlas API (and even others like WURFL probably got a bit of a
synergy between different platforms)

So instead of a rushed, incomplete "new" API the 1.0 release should be what
has been ready and mature for the past 2 years and AFAIK would feel very
familiar to Eberhard's .NET API.

Whether or not the .NET API also gets a rewrite, we shall see, ideally
(just take DeviceAtlas and other commercial APIs, not to mimick them but
see their consistent behavior across platforms) it would, but for 1.0 the
goal would be to support Java and .NET in a consistent way.
