I want to see support for quite a few more architectures, especially
those which are very different, because changing format of the shared
page later will be very painful.

That is bogus.  Minors are used for visible ABI additions, majors are
used for ABI deletions or API changes visible as ABI.  Please don't
argue for a vague extension of the rules again.


In essence this introduction requires no major or minor crank becuase
it just starts selecting a different backend which is newly supplied.
But as soon as the back-end is changed, the version number will barely
help, since code which can't match it has to revert to the non-optimized
path.

I don't believe you can shortcut this by supporting 1 architecture and
casting a prayer it's going to be fine.
