You say "any changes would have to be carefully considered". So, are said changes being considered or are they not?

  We always consider ways in which to provide the best level of service to our end users and API users, while preventing unintended side effects. There are pros and cons to every approach, and they have to be evaluated with care.

    That's a lot of indirection there. He's asking about your current status (i.e. "Are there changes being considered right now?") and you are responding with a comment on the openness of your process (i.e. "We always consider any changes that might benefit our customers!"). I realize that this is just marketing double-speak (as far as I'm concerned) and that you may not be able to comment on the current status of things internally, but it might be better just to come out and say that. "I can't comment on anything specific that we are doing, but we always are open to new ideas..." sounds a lot better than answering a question that wasn't asked and hoping that it satisfies people. If you don't come out and say, "Sorry I can't comment on that," or, "I'm afraid to comment on that because I like my job," then it looks like you're trying to talk people in circles and hope that they get dizzy enough to walk away feeling satisfied.

    That was very carefully crafted in order to not answer the question at all. Nicely done.
