I removed the line by accident, sorry.

Actually, I totally mis-interpreted what you said.  I took it
to mean that the statement suggested that the madness lies
in the idea that you can never remove an interface. If
I understand now, you're in agreement that removing
or changing an existing interface creates a lot of problems
(madness?) and that using a new name is the preferred
method?
