As the original author of BA Functions I thought I’d comment. I’d agree with
Bob that it is rarely used so having to upgrade wouldn’t be such a big deal. I
seem to remember looking at making this a base class originally but IIRC there
was a problem with it, wish I could remember what.
I would say that if it is changing then one useful feature would be to pass the
burn command line in to the function – may be I should add feature request.

I have some new requirements for my installer, and I had previously mentioned
customizing WixStdBA for handeling related bundles. The feedback was to expose
it so that a BAFunction could implement the customization. What is the plan on
breaking BAF’s in the 3.10 release? IE, I think I need to expose a few calls
to BAF’s such as OnPlanRelatedBundle. Adding new methods to
IBootstrapperBAFunction it would break existing BAF DLL’s, but I really don’t
like having “multiple” IBootstrapperBAFunction interfaces
(IBootstrapperBAFunction2…)
Man, we just keep running into this, don't we? What do you think about turning
the sample CWixBootstrapperBAFunction into a base class a la
CBalBaseBootstrapperApplication? Then we say "use this and you won't have to
change your code."
I think BA functions are probably rarely-enough used that we could break the
interface. But you'll have to apologize in the commit message. :)
