This code is well tested and comes with dependencies to things I would ideally rather replace with code from other eggs. For transition and backward compatibility, I want to import some things from the "hidden" code. So it's all deprecated code right from the beginning. >> Not listing as in being marked as "(hidden)" in the meta file is >> apparently what I want. > > That does not make sense to me, if people can install it but should > not use it, what is it good for? Sure use it. But not only indirect. It should be outright clear and obvious that nothing implemented there is supposed to stay and be supported in future versions. Nothing will be documented for re-use. I don't want anybody to build anything at it an then complain when I eventually got around to remove something. > > If it is some code that your published eggs rely on, it will be public > in a way.
