Github user tzulitai commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5138 My intention for opening FLINK-8217 was more towards the purpose of clearly identifying what is `@Internal` and should not be used. I can agree with that we at least separate APIs to be annotated as either `@Internal` or `@PublicEvolving` for now. Whether or not we want to elevate certain APIs to `@Public` can probably be a separate issue.
