Marcus was unclear in the previous message; let me spell it out to be
more precise.
There are two interfaces here. One is the library ABI interfaces.
Nothing about these is different in structure with the Hurd. Of
course all the relevant libraries are versioned.
The other is the RPC interfaces that the servers use to talk to each
other. These are basically static, and don't change except by
extension.
