And if more people are known to rely on them every future change would
be discussed between the parties involved.

One proposal (or better an invitation) from me: if you guys already know
how to program CORBA you could participate in these efforts. If you
aren't experienced with it too much this would be a great opportunity to
learn. You wouldn't only get your stable interfaces earlier - you would
even have influence on how they will look like.
