There is at least "a bit" of confirmation, since there are attempts to detect 
when binary compatibility is broken, but from the conversations of the Qt 
developers I've read, is not possible to have a perfect 100% coverage of ABI 
breaks if have to take into account all the platforms and compilers that Qt 
supports.
