IMHO, UX is also API, albeit spelling changes / menu rationalization / form prettifying are acceptable and sometimes desirable. The fundamental user capability to check out a CVS project is API.

Presumably it was possible to write a program that re-used team CVS support to check out a CVS project. The API used by this hypothetical program is now broken. If such a program was only possible using internal classes, then those classes constitute what I call artificially internal functionality; internal classes that, in the absence of a suitable Facade, users have no alternative but to use for reasonable purposes.
