I can think of some automated fixes to the ABI problem. I'm sure others can too and also why they'd be rejected. Personally I'm surprised people are so scared of ABI breakages when the author correctly points out most code relying on stable ABIs when the language does not guarantee one is probably faulty. I guess the lesson here is not to ever buy into a dependency without getting a license to the source to recompile it in the future. But I get it. There's way too many shared libraries that link against libc++.so out there that will never be recompiled and the source is unavailable. The fixes are probably going to be ugly and have some cost.
