Thanks for the response Mark,
If there are internal Drool’s specific stuff that others shouldn’t use then I would suggest making that obvious, either by adding internal in the package statement, separate internal package, …. That way those who are integrating solutions with Drools have a better understanding of what is safe. I found this to be the case as I was taking the Drools GORM plugin and updating it to 5.1.1

That's internal factory loading stuff, you probably shouldn't be using that anyway.
In drools-api there is org.drools.util that has similar stuff. But all are for internal Drools stuff, so don't expect them to stay stable. Use the proper Drools knowledge apis for stabiity.
