Well, that was the question :-), whether we should go to API or ABI 
stable, from my point of view, keeping the API stable is well enough.

I'm not willing too, either. Keeping the API stable only require contrib 
examples to build and work without change, keeping the ABI stable 
require a check that exported symbols didn't change at all.
