There are 2 camps, people who would like to keep procedural API as it is and people who would like to improve/maintain procedural API while there are no separated camps having improved/maintained OO API. It may be time to discuss how we are going to use namespace for internal functions/classes/interfaces to move forward both procedural and OO APIs so that we'll have zero BC API upgrade.
