I've been following along at home a bit. I can totally see where it's desirable
to have well thought out APIs that you can commit to supporting and encourage
other people to use. And that you sometimes have expedient code that you aren't
as comfortable with.

What I don't get is how using a different mechanism to make libraries makes the
code any less of a library. Just make it a library using normal packaging
methodology, call it version 0.1, and put a README that says "we're not real
comfortable with this API yet". That accomplishes the same thing, but it's a
lot less hairy.

Cheers, Tim
