Well... Shawn and I are contemplating alternate data structures to 
improve things dramatically.

With a fixed public API I doubt such improvements could be as effective.

One thing that was really done right in the Linux kernel is to _not_ 
have any sort of fixed API at all for drivers.  This is a big upside for 
progress.  Yet the Linux kernel is regarded as highly useful.

So... if any API is to be developed, I'd argue that it must be done 
_above_ the existing code with a higher level of abstraction and a much 
narrower scope.
