Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5124 I think the intent here is good, but every time some class is annotated with `@Public`, that is a commitment to keep the API stable. Before doing that, the community members that mainly authored or maintain that code should chime in and agree on which classes should actually be `@Public` and which ones `@PublicEvolving`.
