Hi Neil, The Updates Policy for stable releases (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Stable_Releases) says this about ABIs, APIs: ABI changes in general are very strongly discouraged, they force larger update sets on users and they make life difficult for third-party packagers. [...] Package maintainers MUST: Avoid Major version updates, ABI breakage or API changes if at all possible.
