This is 100% correct.

Also, correct. The only mitigation I have right now is that 1. the interfaces can't change much and 2. (hopefully) balutil/bextutil code won't change much after release. #2 is purely a guess based on how much change there was in WiX v3.

I do expect we will learn a few more things once this integration is complete and will adjust post-preview.0. The key factor is I believe this overall structure will allow us to meet all of our goals (where the current micro-repos were not).

Subject: [wix-devs] Monorepo with integrated segments - api/burn

Under api/burn, there are three separate concerns. Roughly speaking, WixToolset.BootstrapperCore.Native is analogous to WixToolset.Data (1).
Changes there will require changes to both Burn (WixToolset.Core) and the rest of api/burn (WixToolset.Extensibility).

balutil, bextutil, and WixToolset.Mba.Core/mbanative are analogous to WixToolset.Extensibility. All of those have both interfaces (2) and base implementations (3). But there's a key difference - the base implementations in Extensibility are intended to be minimal so they shouldn't change while the base implementations in api/burn are not minimal and may receive feature enhancements in the future. This seems to conflict with the goal of API packages revving infrequently.
