I guess the lack of examples of what ApiExtractor is able to produce is the
main reason. I wouldn't close the door for ApiExtractor to be factored out
into separate project if there will be any serious use cases for its usage.
It is always nice to see clear component separation inside any tool-chain,
and would be to reserve ability for Shiboken to expose ApiExtractor feature
separately for experiments even if code bases are merged. But I guess
experiments won't work, because ApiExtractor is library, not a program, and
should be compiled, and it is not even a Python module. If that is it -
then it explains a lot.
