The Linux kernel itself is a remarkably stable system as far as ABI/API is concerned
You're joking, right? There have been cases where ABIs have been broken by security patches, and users have been told that they have to choose between having a secure system and being able to use their third-party binary drivers.
(And yes, I understand the arguments about how binary drivers are evil; but I don't think users should be used as pawns in that fight.)
