Hmmm, just out of interest, since I never heard of this before...

I do understand the idea behind this. But such step would mean to crash more 
or less every non-core app, since the public API simply does not provide all 
required functions. 
If such step is planned, wouldn't it make sense to inform app developers 
beforehand instead of waiting till the release say to be surprised by all apps 
being broken? 
The real solution would be to implement all required functions in the public 
API, but that has to be done first. It has not been done yet. So there 
currently is no way for app developers to "fix" their apps, except they 
themselves "fix" the core. Which does not really make sense in my eyes, 
because it shifts core development to the third party app developers.
