Additionally it is *not* actually part of the API, that I can see. It is
mailet developers accessing James in a way incompatible with the API.
Therfore we IMO we *don't* owe them an warning.

What we do owe them is a mailet API that allows mailets to access
repositories without recourse to James or Avalon.

The alternative is to consider moving James away from Avalon, either by
maintaining our own fork, or by abandoning it completely, a move which has
seen support from commiters in the past, but never been the subject of a
vote.
