We have definitely struggled with the design of the optimization package. It would be great if we could get to a stable API for 4.0 onwards. If you guys are willing to help get to a structure that makes sense from a user's perspective, we are all ears. If you have time to help make or at least fully think through the changes necessary to get there, that would be most appreciated. I am not an optimization expert. I do know, however, that what we are dealing with in this package is well-understood theoretically. We should listen carefully to those who have the knowledge and background to help. And those providing the "help" should be patient and provide references (online, wherever possible) that we can use to get to a common understanding of the mathematical principles and terminology involved. We all want the same thing here - a high-quality library that is both maintainable and easy to use. We are all volunteers with limited time and of course limited knowledge. Lets work together on this.
