----------------------------------------
+1, nice idea

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11891
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
> Assignee: Sean Busbey
> Priority: Minor
>
> We have several classes that are private use as far as APIs are concerned,
> but the class name appear in user provided config files.
> We should add an HBaseInterfaceAudience level CONFIG and use it to denote
> these classes as LimitedPrivate.
> HBase contributors can then use this audience marking to see when changes to
> a FQCN will require a release note to help upgrading users correct their
> configuration files.
