This is not such an issue for bindings as it is for C libraries. In python bindings, we generate .defs from scanning header files, so the API is already well defined. Unless h2def screws up, but when it does it is pretty obvious. We don't have much flexibility to change the API besides making some arguments optional and changing their default values. In my opinion, this is a low risk API addition. But we'll respect whatever is decided by the release team. Regards. -- Gustavo J. A. M.
