I thought that to provide a "stable" ABI, you just can't do these things:

Remove a class
Change any public or protected instance variables.
Change the memory layout of private variables. (i.e. changing a name of a 
private instance var is ok, and changing the data type is fine as long as 
the memory layout is the same)
adding instance variables. ( this is why many NX classes had weird int 
_reserved2 type private instance variables, to leave room for future 
expansion without changing the abi )
Remove a public method or change it's data types.

But these things should not cause instabilitity:

Adding a class
Adding a method
Remove a private method (if it really was private)
