It seems that these packages differ in both
(1) how they connect to the web site (the "back end"), and
(2) the Lisp interface for calling them.

Is that right?

If so, it seems that the clean way is to offer the same interface for
all the back ends, perhaps selecting the back end at run time for each
use.  And support legacy interfaces by making them call the preferred
interface.

Why not?

Each Lisp interface can also select a back-end method by default,
with various global variables to specify selective overrides.
