Maybe a good compromise would be to leave them members of
the class but name them to imply they are private (add a
leading underscore).  That way if someone wants to create
their own subclass they can at their own risk.  They can
always write a little extra logic to insure the interface
didn't change and raise a custom exception explaining what
happened and what they need to look at.

I didn't read (2) in Raymond's comments.  Could you expand
on those concerns?
