> and a calling convention should be designed for the long term
...isn't the article just about Rust code calling Rust code? That's a much more flexible situation than calling into operating system functions or into other languages. For calling within the same language a stable ABI is by for not as important as on the 'ecosystem boundaries', and might actually be harmful (see the related drama in the C++ world).
You are right, as Josh Triplett also pointed out above. I was mistaken about the plans to stabilize the ABI.
