Not being a profit center, a full, clean update of the API, data structures and documentation is not likely. Also, because it relies on proprietary code - and access to the actual product code - it is not something that can be made open source / community-driven either.
ike, I don't understand why you have 12 different data structures that do the same thing, in different namespaces, some types that are classes but some that have constructors some that don't, some that use void pointers, some that use templates, some type names that are missing letters, some that you must initialize not with a constructor, but with BNZeroMemory, and that the SDK provides header files that are there for whatever purpose but that we're not allowed to use other than to make things compile, some classes that we are allowed to use but when you call some of their methods you get unresolved externals, and so on...
