Absolutely. See pmGetConfig(3) for a similar sort of situation.

To me, seems too soon (one/two releases only?). I'd like to see more
time - more use of the API from client tools, see if it stands up to
more discovery types below the API too, that sort of thing. And if
none of these things come along over the next few months to help set
our direction then yep, sure, let's push it up to PMAPI level as-is.
cheers.
