Well, if feature-version is incremented when a non backward compatible ABI change is made, I'll be able to live with this. > DZ> No, it is public ABI that is subject to change. > > Okay.

That's definitely what worries me most here, I'm not against every ABI change, but backward compatibility breakages will definitely make my life unnecessarily harder.
