You are right! I believe there are various add-ons to BBDB including
and beyond lookout.el and csv.el that have not yet been properly
ported to BBDB 3. When I wrote the above, I had in mind the core
functions of BBDB as implemented in bbdb.el, bbdb-com.el and
bbdb-mua.el. Add-ons to BBDB should be able to rely on these core
functions once BBDB 3 is released.

(There is a small but nonzero probability that updating one or the
other BBDB add-on reveals that some core function should have been
implemented differently. -- Oh well, I do not know all the add-ons
so well, and only a regular user of an add-on might notice certain
things. So that's really where I would appreciate input from the
BBDB user community.)
