If the SRU team decides to make this change, I think it's worth making it clear to the wider community whether we're just making this change on this occasion because everything has aligned to make it possible easily in this specific case (openssl 1.0 remains in Bionic, etc), or if this ABI stability promise is actually one we realistically expect to keep in the future, or if we're deferring that decision until the wider community has figured out how to handle this situation in distributions. Just because we happen to be able to do it this time due to the versions available doesn't necessarily mean that we'll be able to do it again.
