I know there's a lot of code in the wild that treats cbook as public and would probably be affected by it going away. However, there hasn't been much care taken within that module as to what we want to support publicly and what would be better left as private. Many things in it, of course, are imported to the top-level of the matplotlib package, and those are quite strongly public, I would say, but we probably have to do these things on a case-by-case basis. I think the best approach is to probably deprecate now and remove later -- though there may be some things in there that we want to keep even if they aren't used internally (but let's add some tests in the latter case). Do you have a complete list of everything in cbook that isn't used by matplotlib itself?
