Don't be too harsh on the 3rd party developers; we're still working
out what needs to be public and how.

We take the "internals can change at any time" vow seriously, which is
painful for any 3rd party library developers, as sometimes you have to
dive into the internal side to accomplish things.

I encourage any 3rd party library developer who does use internals to
get a dialog going on the mailing list (and then on JIRA) so that
necessary, stable, public interfaces can be created.
