   Well if a change to p_main breaks compatibility I fail to see how the
same change to p_main->p_sys could help in any way...

   Definitely. For the moment, plugin versions are evolving with the vlc
version because the code is moving very fast, but once we have a stable
API for plugins I hope we'll be able to get decent binary compatibility.
