Let's plan on making an explicit ABI/API freeze one month after the end
of the merge window.

Do you end up generating some kind of summary of API/ABI changes that we
could post soon after the end of the merge window so that we could
explicitly review that before the API/ABI was frozen?

I'll bump the ABI number to ensure that all drivers get rebuilt once we
do change. We've got a 16-bit space of numbers to work with, which seems
likely to be sufficient even for X.
