Both points are good points.  Perhaps a policy could be adopted to similar to 
what other projects do.  That is to introduce new APIs in release X, support 
both APIs in releases X and Y with the old APIs marked as depreciated.  Then 
in release Z remove the depreciated APIs.  That gives time for people to try 
the new APIs, change their code to new APIs and then have their code ready and 
in place when they upgrade to the release that removes the old code.
