once you exported the api, it can be used by someone.

but this api was not in any netbsd release, hence, should be

I think if it wasn't in a release Elad is probably correct.

From now on, however, "unstable and evolving APIs" should maybe be handled differently, and not stuffed into a shared library right off the bat.
