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.
