The problem we have here is that we have same interfaces in registry.api.*
as well as registry.core.* which is quite confusing for a user, where
registry.api.* has less method descriptions which are in use.
So you are suggesting that we need to move all the interfaces to
registry.api.*, yes that can be done but as I mentioned before it will
affect all the components, stubs features and the effort will be high.

thanks
Eranda
