last discussed the outcome was that there was no promise of api/abi stability
at all for drivers only applications. tech-board may have discussed it
further i don't know.

we (Microsoft) would like to see them evolve to stable abi/api but we
understand the challenges and effort involved. so driver stability is
pretty much the interface consumers problem right now for drivers built
in-tree and out of tree.
