That's literally the definition of it being stable. Programs written against an interface keep working despite the implementation changing. The Linux kernel also constantly changes internally but programs written against syscalls keep working, so it is stable; that fact doesn't stop being a fact just because I dislike perf_event_open(2) or whatever. This is all very basic and easy to understand.
