Andrew Jaquith commented on JSPWIKI-38:
---------------------------------------

Murray -- my counter-proposal was that we eliminate the .api package and focus on refactoring concrete classes into interfaces instead. I.e., WikiEngine becomes an interface in the top-level package, and we provide a concrete class called DefaultWikiEngine (for example) that provides the implementation. This could be combined with a factory class that produces WikiEngines. 

This has already been done, partially, with WikiContext (even though the interface ended up in the .api package, which I'd prefer us to avoid).

In other words: focus on refactoring by extracting interfaces, not shunting developers off to another package. If we provide good interfaces, developers will use them in preference to the concrete classes anyway.
