- evas smart objects
Evas smart objects are a stable legacy API but their equivalent in EO is
horrible. Efl.Canvas.Group is not an acceptable replacement in its current
form. All the methods this class defines are poorly defined overrides over
the basic object functions (show, hide, etc...). I've started some work in
this direction but it's tedious and risky. The alternative is to have no
API for custom smart objects.

- elm_widget
elm widget was and still is an unstable / private API. I don't think
cleaning up this API is in the scope of our interfaces work, right now.

- text part API
Textblock now has a new shiny eo api but edje_object and elm_layout still
define _part_text_ APIs. This needs to be transformed to Efl.Part.

- efl.ui.window + elm_conformant
Ideally window should have merged in the features of conformant so we avoid
this extra awkward widget. Window was supposed to handle what conformant
does. The reality is that no work towards that goal has been done yet.
