Here's the full scoop:
1. Buffer objects are bad (mainly because of refcount problems and 
more).
2. The buffer API in general is a good idea, and it will stay, but
3. The multi-segment capability of the buffer API may go away (or may 
not be supported in future calls), as it was never used much anyway 
(most users of the buffer API will simply complain and stop if there is 
more than one segment).
