Can you say why? > Also, can we stop using the term "ABI" in reference to this please? > It's misleading. Let's call them sub-slots instead. I think ABI fits well though? The situation is that A DEPENDs on B, and at some point B changes in a way that A must be rebuilt in order to run - right? The only reason that A wouldn't run anymore is that B's ABI changed? Slots and sub-slots seem to be PMS terms to model this situation? They could certainly be used to implement a solution, but perhaps it's wise not to insist on using them when merely exploring the problem? //Peter
