I think it would be great to get a stable api soon. I don't know about
February as a specific deadline.

I've often wished things were stable a little while longer. But I think
the biggest thing for us is to get the major features put in. And then
go around and make almost everything private so that we can change it :)

I guess the only problem is the difference between "private - this isn't
stable yet" and "private - you shouldn't use this" or "private - This is
only for subclasses to use, not public".
