I am not sure about the term legacy component but I see what you are
saying. For new application user have a range of alternatives to choose
from and these are not fully proven or in a release. I am not sure what
sort of footprint they have as I have not seen any real data so are they
suitable for small memory devices?
The Classic API has a wide user base and there is a lot of code using it
and some has a long life cycle. I do not see the Classic API going away
in the near, medium or long term. If there is a way to improve the
existing Classic API via a separate mutex then we should consider it. I
think this is a good idea. It is cleaner and less likely to cause the
errors we are seeing.
