Btw., just to make things clear, if we indeed have a library to parse things
and if all apps use that then the ABI moves to another (library) level.

The requirement from my maintenance POV is very, very simple: apps should not
break on new kernels. If this is achieved by making apps smarter then that's a
valid solution.

Thanks,
