Similar to how the interface symbols are _explicitly_ exported while devs lean that each project should have them statically. - The API/ABI generated by wayland-scanner is intentionally meant to be fluid ? Seriously doubt this is the case. And yes this is one example/reason why we want the scanner to provide a consistent API/ABI/other. Unless the user explicitly opts out.
