Comment:

 Thankfully, a few years later, we can conclude that the whack-a-mole game
 hasn't gone too far.

 The commits referenced in this ticket were necessary because some public
 APIs were available in the root package of contrib apps and these APIs
 depend on models. The current design of the app-loading process doesn't
 support this use case.

 In the future, unless this is resolved (I'm not sure it ever will), we'll
 avoid creating such APIs. We only had to fix preexisting APIs.
