If you're just creating new layers, no worries. If you need to change the API fundamentally, that'll require a new major version of the OpenLayers. To be fair, I think we should start thinking about what OpenLayers 3.0 might look like. OL currently has a bunch of warts and legacy code from as far back as 2007, retained for compatibility reasons. A version 3.0 would let us clean out the cruft while planning for new features. Depends on how you add the features. If you’re just creating new layers, no worries.
