I consider myself - an "outsider", so an "outsider's" view is that
anything that makes it more clear about what is intended aka supported
as the Python API is an improvement.

Without clarity there is a chance (read risk) that someone starts using
something and forces a long and difficult process to make it part of the
official API or get acceptance that something never should have been
done "that way".

Shorter: promote clarity.

IMHO: it is easier to move something from the 'internal' to public than
v.v. and whenever there is not a compelling reason to not put something
into some form of 'internal' - do it before not doing so bites you in a
nasty way.

My two (outsider) bits - :)
