Of course if we followed that line of thinking, we would never have
any Mail plug-ins. Six years (5 major revisions) and counting with no
public Mail plug-in APIs.
Avoiding private APIs is great in a perfect world, where Apple
regularly pushes its private APIs to public APIs once they have been
tested. Of course, that isn't always the case.
That said, if you use undocumented APIs you have to have your guard up
(unless you're a big company like Adobe or Microsoft) -- you'll get
zero support for using private APIs and your app could well break with
an update.
