If that's why you were confused by my response, I was not suggesting
freezing the ABI.  I think it's an awful idea.  You specifically
objected to shipping two versions using the same SONAME in case we
installed the new one and it turned out to be incompatible - which
we've done.

I still haven't seen a valid objection to bumping the SONAME whenever
necessary.
