Once again, you don't count the message based API being a public API.

It's no longer used by the DSQL API, but it's still used directly by at 
least GBAK and GPRE. I suspect it would be much easier porting them to 
the new OO API (preserving the message based architecture) rather than 
rewriting them from scratch to use the DSQL API.
