The only api 'change' that I know of anyone having in mind
is the change to premul semantics. But as far as large or radical
api changes, evas has already had some.. eg. the textblock.
Part of the benefit of having loadable object types is to
minimize the need for such things happening. But mostly it's to
provide a better base on which to build - to build apps, not to
fiddle with the lib for the hell of it. If people don't understand
this then I don't know what to tell you.

Then it's likely not going to happen and will thus stay
'good enough' until deemed otherwise. A concensus needs to be
reached on what needs work and what doesn't.. it can't be carried
or be decided on by one person alone, wether it be me or Carsten
or whomever.. Some things can be done here and there, but major
work needs more than that.
