Have you seen how many people suck at updating their software when their own code breaks? You really trust various projects shipping all the various programs you use to keep track of all the code other people wrote that their project depends on too?
To take an example from your cloud enabled world (kids these days) that should be easily understandable from your perspective: How many people honestly update their version of rails and Ruby when a new one comes out? And how often does that happen on most projects in practice?
Do you think it's going to be any different if we stop having ABIs?
This is the type of dream that leads directly to a cold dark nightmare if you ever tried to implement it farther than an HN comment.
