My 2 (or 4 or 5) cents...

1. atapi was introduced because it was zope3'ish and looked cool (i'm
only speculating on this one)

2. Perhaps I'm being dense but I never actually saw any deprecation
messages telling me public was deprecated ... if this is indeed true, it
is my belief that the deprecation wasn't real to begin with

3. Seems most people who work with Archetypes nowadays don't really care
whether its public or atapi or whatever

So... what is my conclusion based on these 3 points?  Simple, leave
public and atapi both in their place (ie put atapi back into Archetypes
1.5 or whatever relevant AT release for Plone 3.0)

Now here is my reasoning: As we refine and refactor Archetypes we should
be building up a newer clearer and more consistent api that would not
live in either place.  Ultimately I believe that the good parts of
Archetypes should live under the plone.* namespace package if licensing
issues aren't a problem.  And once this starts happening, we begin
deprecating the relevant Products.Archetypes.* bits (which at the
earliest would be plone 3.0 but even then thats probably too early).

ps.  Hanno, I'm glad you went ahead and removed atapi, it gave everyone
a chance to think about whats going on there anyhow.
