Just wanted to note that this ABI breakage was caused by human error ;),
the developer ignored(?) the fact that 1.0.x is a stable branch or
thought that because the interfaces lives in obsolete/ it can be changed
which is not the case. Also the Mozilla team noticed the ABI change
shortly before shipping, respinned the builds with the old ABI, but then
released by accident the builds with the new ABI. The whole release was
a bit too hurried in the end.
