Or...? yes. that we allow users to *guarantee* that they are only using stable api by only depending on the api package. the question is if this should also be expanded to tests. that imposes a couple of additional problems like test-base and e.g. the logging (test-base classes want to log...) if we keep the split of these libs as it is now, we allow users to write their tests also with only using stable api and stable test support classes. currently our tests still have a pvm dependency in the pom. so either we need to fix this or we should merge the libs.
