IMHO, UX is also API, albeit spelling changes / menu rationalization /
form prettifying are acceptable and sometimes desirable. The fundamental
user capability to check out a CVS project is API.
Presumably it was possible to write a program that re-used team CVS
support to check out a CVS project. The API used by this hypothetical
program is now broken. If such a program was only possible using
internal classes, then those classes constitute what I call artificially
internal functionality; internal classes that, in the absence of a
suitable Facade, users have no alternative but to use for reasonable
purposes.
