Oh, I wish you were right.
Things like bug 1078674 suggest that you're wrong, however. We have
random binary code we don't control calling into our code, so if we
change the ABI we need to either making sure said random binary code is
updated accordingly or that it doesn't run. Otherwise we get crashes,
and possibly exploitable ones given that vtables are involved.
Note that this is talking about ABI compat with ourselves; the fact that
it happens to match MSCOM doesn't matter here.
