That would be helpful - if only to split out into a separate
library for OpenChange.

To reinforce Volker's point, there are no externally built
VFS modules that we have to maintain in this way between
major releases.

In that - we only promise to maintain the VFS interface
as stable within a major release stream 4.X.y - ABI
remains stable with modification of 'y' only.

Any other external VFS modules will have to adapt,
as they already must do for major releases.

It isn't as though we made this change within
a release stream.
