I disagree on this point. I believe that the more implementation details
bleed into the API, the harder the API is to evolve and improve, and the
less flexible the API becomes.

I'd personally love to see the next version of the LBaaS API be a
complete breakaway from any implementation specifics and refocus itself
to be a control plane API that is written from the perspective of the
*user* of a load balancing service, not the perspective of developers of
load balancer products.

I agree with Jay.  We the API needs to be user centric and free of implementation details.  One of my concerns I’ve voiced in some of the IRC discussions is that too many implementation details are exposed to the user.
