No, we had slightly different definitions for ABI :)
But yeah, the .dll.so format is a custom Wine setup,
and only Alexandre knows how stable that is. But the
rest is basically defined by MS, and so it's set in
stone.

However, note that this is not a big problem -- you
can simply ship PE .dll if you are concerned about
stability <g>.

I agree that would be nice if we can say that the
.dll.so format is stable. With the winecrt0 and
debug channel work that Alexander did lately I think
we are close. But if we are there yet, only he knows.
