For what it's worth, here is the reply I recieved from ESRI regarding the release plans. In a follow on message I also asked whether the API would require runtime licensing or similar, to which I've not received a reply; I waited a week or so. Hi Matt, To answer your question abo

This is meant to be an export/import type of thing. So you won't be able to "open" something in ArcMap and start manipulating it live using the ArcMap/ArcCatalog tools. The other approach I am proposing would be OGR as a seamless datasource that integrates with ArcGIS at the data access layer level
