Stop spreading FUD. There is no ABI breakage on stable/10 branch,
nor there is a breakage in the package sets. We only promise
backward-compatibility, and this works as advertized. A binary compiled
on later system, is not guaranteed to work on the early system even on
the same branch.

The current package set for stable/10 is built on 10.3 and is only
guaranteed to work on 10.3 and later. Trying to make arbitrary
combinations of binaries and base systems outside of the scope of the
project.
