IMO we shouldn't worry about ABI on Windows. And not because "meh
Windows", but since Microsoft breaks C++ ABI with every compiler
release, which is quite frequently these days. In general C++ ABI
stability just isn't a thing on Windows. And we are both the upstream
and the downstream for the releases anyways.

To that latter point, I guess really it matters what the KDE Windows
team thinks.
