End Of Life Procedures

From APIDesign

This section is good, and reminiscent of (symmetric to?) your section at the beginning of Part 3, "An API Must ...".

One thing I would recommend: an additional section of this chapter about communicating and distributing one's API. In my experience, a number of people have developed APIs which may be either good or bad, but which I have little chance of knowing, because it's presented so badly as to discourage me from investigating further, thereby rendering all of the work that went into the API somewhat useless. I know this isn't purely a software thing, but I think communicating an API clearly - what it does, what its limitations are, how it works!!! - is very important.
