So far, the general plan has been to bump the ABI the first time a
change occurs after a release  and then not bump it again for the
rest of the release process.

We've only got a 16 bit integer space to work in though, so if it
changes once a month, we'll have to come up with a plan for what to do
in about 5000 years.

Previous stable versions, yes. Random server du jour bits from master,
less important to me at least. The ABI/API may well change in various
incompatible ways during the development process and so an absolute rule
requiring perfect compatibility with every checkout may be a pain to
follow.
