I mostly agree to the general stance of this discussion about clean design
for better maintainability, but since this precise point pops here:

This particular issue could be avoided by not having an intra-library ABI,
i.e. having a single library.

I can understand the attraction of having different features in different
libraries, thematically, but I feel that the practical result has way more
drawbacks than benefits. I wonder how other developers feel about it.
