Looking at current usage in Hadoop, there are only 4 LimitedPrivate references to HBase (the http, io.retry, ipc, and metrics packages in Common), and 2 references to Pig (the two LineRecordReader classes in MapReduce). The other LimitedPrivate references are all to HDFS or MapReduce. Given that Private means "Intended for use only within Hadoop itself" (according to the javadoc), we can replace these references with Private.
We could also change the remaining 6 cases of LimitedPrivate to Public (note that they are already annotated Evolving or Unstable), and deprecate LimitedPrivate. Would this allay people's concerns?
