Well, while I dislike changing the ABI, svn trunk is obviously the  
place to do it when it's necessary (in this case I'm afraid it was  
necessary to support new Apple garbage collection behaviors).
Changing the ABI even in svn trunk is sufficiently unusual that I  
emailed the mailing list to highlight the issue at the point when this  
change was made, but I guess you don't follow the gnustep lists?

For stable ABI, you need to stick to stable releases or follow the  
stable branch rather than trunk.
