re:experimental. I don't think it's good to mark new API as experimental. Breaking API is annoying to users, and should only be done if there are very very good reasons or when no users are affected. Otherwise, the annoyance is the same regardless whether the API is marked as experimental. With the difference, that if the API was experimental, it has the notion of being the fault of the user using the API (which it really isn't). We can never be 100% sure that an API is perfectly future proof. We can just think hard and try to make the best choices now. And if something turns out not to be optimal, we treat that like we always do. best, Thomas _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
