I don't believe I said 'let's add random exports to our DLLs'. In fact, in your old thread, I was totally FOR your idea, I even wrote that the only sane way of doing it is with the app compat work.

We have been discussing this before and I wonder that Alex is not heavily opposing the idea of randomly adding new exports to our user mode DLLs. It is a well known fact that applications check for existance of exports to decide how to behave, so ... not going to go over this again.
To addess this issue I suggested to implement a compatibility layer. And there was a detailed discussion about that on this mailing list. https://www.reactos.org/pipermail/ros-dev/2015-March/017216.html
Please take your time to read the whole thread again so we can avoid wasting time, talking about the same things again.
