Until the upcoming major version of DIET, there's no ABI enforcement
policy (only API is guaranteed to be stable). After DIET 3.0, we will
enforce ABI compatibility (the public API will more or less be the same,
but without the accumulated crufts).
There will be probably only minor releases between DIET 2.8 and DIET 3.0
(release scheduled for Q2), so i'm not sure that it's worth the hassle.
