As a veteran of ABI wars, I think that you have an unrealistic
expectations about what can be done.  While an interesting goal, too
many of the developers are hard wired to not even think about such
considerations to make it successful.  We have a hard enough time
making backward compatibility work, there's no hope for 'forward'
compatability.
