That's the problem. We don't have abi-check automated yet. Although we don't have to limit ourselves to that.

What we do have is regular ABI breaks landing and nobody noticing. So I audit the code manually and propose the missing breaks. Fortunately the whole team is getting on board and noticing them more often, but it's still not automated.

And why is this a problem? We run abi-check as a part of the release process, and the ABI breaks (by and large) haven't broken CI (or the branch wouldn't have landed).

It would be *preferable* to bump ABI along with the branch that breaks it, but what is the problem if it isn't?

We know a *good* solution - automating abi-check - is reasonably close to implementable and should be reasonably cheap to implement. Is the problem so urgent that we should spend effort on an inferior stop-gap?
