I'm not that familiar with the specific changes, but from reading your
blog, a lot of it "sounds" like it's working outside the defined APIs
and frameworks.  Given Apple's recent interests in Python, and the
year lead-time before we have anything serious to worry about, it
seems that a proposal to formalize the interface some, and add some
stable APIs for what we need would be the best way to go.

Note that it took a while for the APIs in the kernel to stabilize, but
that's happened to a large extent with Tiger. If we were to approach
them with a proposal, then I think we might have a decent chance. 
This wouldn't eliminate the problems, just simply fomalize them and
make them recognized by Apple. That's what this whole 1 year's notice
is about.

Or am I just on crack today?
