> We have several classes that are private use as far as APIs are concerned, but the class name appear in user provided config files.
> We should add an HBaseInterfaceAudience level CONFIG and use it to denote these classes as LimitedPrivate.
> HBase contributors can then use this audience marking to see when changes to a FQCN will require a release note to help upgrading users correct their configuration files.
