Maybe in some future we might want to do some sort of

time and effort in removing some Tango's abstractions. It is a
very conscious design decision to remove as many abstraction
layers as possible, and for the platform-dependent part, we
definitely don't want to go back. We need to work very closely
to the OS facilities, so abstractions are plain noise and
source of inefficiency for us :)
But if there is interest, I don't discard the splitting idea in
some future.
It'd be great, if there was some sort of separation so that users
know exactly what to use for cross-platform development and what
not. Docs or some sort of a cheat sheet would be nice too. In
this way users can see, if Ocean contains something interesting
for the task at hand. There's less of a chance of adoption, if
you have to go through the source code to see what it does.
