ABI stability requires API stability [1].

Of course it requires API stability... as I said ``API and data structure stability should be something in mind''. I really meant that API shouldn't change suddenly. And from the moment in which API are stable, still having even different implementations, *then* (not before) probably ABI can be taken in consideration.

[1] you can break the API without breaking the ABI, but these are
    mostly pathological examples

I don't want to even think about an incredible coincidence of having a _working_ ABI with different API... different function calls, different data structures, different behaviors, and still working in binary mode...
