But that's a totally different matter. You can add functionalities and
not breaking API or ABI. I mean gtk 2 exists for maybe 7 or 8 years
now, and a program linked against gtk 2.0.0 can run with gtk 2.12.0,
but gtk 2.12.0 certainly is different than 2.0.0.

Having a policy about API/ABI stability does not mean we can't change anything.

cheers,
