IIRC ABI breakage after bumping was supposed to be a ~month but then IIRC people posted such things much later.

I was just unclear whether we were already past ABI instability period or not due to 4.5/5.0/whatever not still being made and due to there (as far as I know) there being no clear message on when the ABI instability period would end.
