See the (now removed) comment in gtkfilesystem.h:

/* This is a "semi-private" header; it is meant only for
 * alternate GtkFileChooser backend modules; no stability guarantees
 * are made at this point
 */
#ifndef GTK_FILE_SYSTEM_ENABLE_UNSUPPORTED
#error "GtkFileSystem is not supported API for general use"
#endif

I agree with you in principle, changing public or defacto public api
is not nice. On the other hand gtkfilesystem.h probably shouldn't have
been public API in the first place, notwithstanding the consensual
define.
