Yeah, I understand. But wouldn't it be the "right" way to introduce
interfaces for every domain model in my extensions, to provide as much
flexibility as possible to other developers, which may need to exchange
those domain models for some reason?

I mean, if someday one comes along and wants to extend/enhance my
domain models, and an interface would fit best, wouldn't it be "bad"
if there were just no interfaces, because I decided myself, that
"I" don't need it, so no one else can use it?

That's what I'm about. Why not providing and using interfaces from
the beginning and if someone needs them in future, they can just
base their changes on the fact, that they are there.

I hope it's clear what I want to say, it's a bit difficult to describe.

Thanks for your feedback!
