Comment (by CodeforEvolution):

 I would have to agree with stippi here. I don’t believe it’s a good idea
 to assume that a developer would be willing to continuously update their
 code to target a volatile api like app_server’s. Especially with a weaker
 project like Haiku where we’re low on developers, it is CRITICAL that we
 try to give developers a stable api to make them feel comfortable to
 continue developing on our platform.

 In addition, I’d once again like to argue that I don’t feel that out-of-
 tree source code should be using headers from headers/private, as once
 again, those apis are “volatile”.

 Finally, I do agree with X512 that some app_addon_server should be
 introduced eventually to protect the app_server from rogue add-ons.
