API and ABI are different things. The API of course should be
quite fixed, so at least within one minor release it remains
stable - I can totally live with having to rebuild all the
server packages. 

The reason why I want to split the server is to get the whole
build process into smaller, distict parts. This makes partial
(re)builds faster, reliable and easier to look through.
