Yes. We have the old one which I ported from community-schemas on the 2.4 branch. The reason I want to change SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder is that I want to change GML2EncoderUtils to add support for complex feature encoding. While making these changes, I discovered the unwritten contract: SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder discards namespaces, and GML2EncoderUtils fabricates them. I don't fancy my chances of getting changes to GML2EncoderUtils accepted if they break SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder. > Much of this discussion can move over to the geotools list.

Changing the Query API will affect every DataStore. If this is done by expanding Query and DefaultQuery as you indicated, it should be possible to leave the existing DataStore implementations untouched.
