It's unfortunate that upstream has anything that prevents it from us just importing it all and calling it done. Anyway, if you see a path forward for grabbing all the Makefile/config stuff and leaving the abi changing stuff out, and just important that, we can do a partial import. I say this without reviewing the diffs from upstream and how many there are and what's in them. I'm hoping things are nicely segregated and reasonably small otherwise. That could unblock your concerns and you can leave the rest for some else that can play with the abi.
