Besides forking the function (i.e. "copy-and-paste" it) if you think
the function provides useful functionality you can try to persuade the
maintainer to export it (and hence agree to support the function API
for the foreseeable future) or even contribute the function to another
more appropriate package (maybe even creating a new package in the
process).
