And I have never heard of a good argument against adding APIs.  You
keep trying, but other than `thats what we do around here' you have not
articulated why this is good.

I was making fun of you.

And adding APIs will always succeed, because it does not break existing
software;   And new software can just require a new version.

You keep trying, but you keep not articulating your reasons.
