I maintain the gnome graphical tool for lvm called system-config-lvm, as 
well as a web based lvm configuration tool called conga. I depend on the 
current command line set to make the app work. Will the rug soon be 
pulled out from under me? :)

No big deal, as long as I have a little warning - like a quarter, or so. 
As you amend the CLI, though, please maintain the 'machine readable' 
output commands...ones without column headers or unnecessary formatting 
characters, so that my app, and the many, many users that have built 
scripts around the CLI are not confronted with surprises.

Maintaining compatibility with the current CLI for a few releases of the 
new CLI would be a nice gift to us!
