Because of the short release cycle for the frameworks, it is hard to<br>
have bigger new features included into one of them. Slowly evolving<br>
APIs while developing stuff leaves a lot of crud and deprecated<br>
methods later.<br>
<br>
What is our policy about having experimental (unstable API/ABI) parts<br>
in a framework (obviously, in a separate binary, so that the main<br>
library remains BC)?<br>
