I don't really know much about this stuff, but here's my opinion.
I basicly think 3.0.x could contain anything that doesn't break both API
and ABI. I think it's a bit annoying that I have to recompile
octave-forge when I upgrade octave. So it would be great if we could
make sure the ABI is the same across 3.0.x releases. Then we could move
to 3.1.x (or 3.2.x?) when the ABI and API needs changing.
