It makes sense to me from a desktop point of view, but haven't we
already made a guarantee of API/ABI compatibility since it's a platform
library? Obviously I have no idea of the types of people using it, but
I'm not sure if it right to just pull it back into ORBit2 until we get
to some kind of major release.

		Or am I completely off the ball?
