Beyond the tiny binary result, I understand that Justine want the OS maintainers to understand that there is value in supporting a common ABI and that there are very little changes to do for that once they already standardized on the CPU arch and POSIX. But changes would need to be synchronized accross all OS, so there would be a large communication cost. So this bogs down to how much innovation is expected in system ABIs.
