I would not move the API to the Jackrabbit API. Just moving the interfaces into sepatate packages, eg. below o.a.j.core.api would suffice it to export this space and leave the implementation private. And yes, there is potentially a requirement/use for it: In Day we implement so-called Connectors to other (legacy) systems like Documentum, Sharepoint etc. Being able to "attach" these to the repository with proper bundling would help much in terms of development and deployment efforts.
