Compiling is not enabled until patch 17, so that should not be a problem.
I wanted to convey the core KTF API early in the set to not let it "drown" 
in the utilities, but I get your point. One way to do it would be to move 
the header files up front and keep the implementations in the later patches,
even though that would separate the API definition from the implementation.

yes
