@nkronenfeld we can do clean-ups in a way that's backwards compatible. But
we cannot remove old method signatures for the purpose of clean-up. This is why
we vet new public API's pretty closely in Spark post 1.0. However, there is
some legacy stuff that, to your point, is sometimes messy. The reason is that
otherwise you break old programs that depend on the existing API's.
