I think you misunderstood. As a GNUstep user and distro maintainer of GNUstep packages, I don't mind if the GNUstep developers break the ABI as much as they want (of course, the less the better). But only bump the soname of a library when there is breakage. The current release policy just doesn't make any sense (and never had for me personally).
We had a long discussion about this before that ended in the request that stable releases have no ABI or API changes (even additions), so that a developer and user could count on the same set of functionality in a release. It's a nice goal, but GNUstep really isn't in a place where it is stable enough for this.
