Gabriel's and everyones comments are great...definitely an area that needs constant discussion.

I can't think of any industry where your vendor / supplier guarantees it will be there forever and never change.

Even with contracts and commitments, the world moves forward.

We are just moving forward at faster and faster rates. I think there is a lot of opportunity here for API owners to provide copycat services for redundancy.

Also lots of opportunity to really keep interfaces dead simple and easy to integrate, adapt and change.
