> Many packages have mutual dependency, directly or undirectly.
> These dependencies may be avoided just by moving some classes and interfaces within different packages.
> This refactoring breaks API compatibility but enhances the useability and the maintenability (hopefully) of the library. In addition, few issues in dynamic environments (like OSGi) less occur.
