Well, both. And this is _really_ only a problem for non-free software. Out of tree modules get what they ask for. This does not mean I have to care about ABI for those modules. I do not care AT ALL about the ability to compile a plugin with some random compiler on some random machine against some random version of drizzle and actually COPY the binaries in to production somewhere. I mean, who the shit does that? Distros package code. All of the packages you get from a distro will have been done consistently - or it's a distro bug. If you compile yourself, chances are you also understand compiling stuff, and will also not have a problem. That leaves non-free external modules. I do not care about non-free software. It can all die. Growl.
