I would have to agree. The API is open, with the intent that people
will write their own frontends, and integrate it into their exisiting
systems. I would much prefer them to get all of the bugs out of the
existing client before they start writing a different version (not that
I even think it is their responsibility to do so). What I am worried
about is that when I send a question/request, I don't get a response.
To me, this is far more troublesome than the lack of PHP clients.
