     That is understandable, which is why ... two months ago ... I asked 
whether it would be possible to document the list of use-cases and the 
justification for the API architecture/design by referencing specific 
use-cases. When design decisions are scattered like butter across the 
mailing list it inevitably leads to rehashing of old arguments. This is 
part of what I meant when I asked for more transparency.
     This is just one approach. I would welcome other approaches so long 
as they achieve the same goal. Just please don't tell me to wade through 
10,000 messages in the mailing list archive (that is not a solution).
