In the case of libgnomeuimm, I have considered freezing it in an incomplete
state and branching because:
- The unstable part of the API, Bonobo, isn't used by most people.
- And that won't be finished any time soon.

Sometimes API stability is only for the sake of API stability.

I think that might be an unreasonable aim for the bindings. And it would be
unfair to some bindings if we had to only include the lowest common
denominator.
