I think it unwise to make item 1 a mandatory item at this point. I'd argue
a large number of packages do not provide public api/abi that's worth
worrying about in this regard.
I think we should definine a set of packages where we care about this,
and enable it on a case-by-case basis and make it advisory otherwise.
