I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by "the current ABI 
supported by autopackage is replaced"? If you mean support for 
automatically selecting different ABIs: I don't think we'll remove 
support for a certain ABI unless we have a good reason to do so.
In case of open source apps, you don't have to worry about this too much 
because you can just recompile the source and create a new package.
