If you want me to take you seriously, spare me from the conspiracy theories, OK?

I'm sure perf developers break the ABI sometimes - that happens
elsewhere in the kernel as well. However, Ted claimed that perf
developers use tools/perf as an excuse to break the ABI _on purpose_
which is something I have hard time believing.

Your snarky remarks doesn't really help this discussion either. It's
apparent from the LKML discussions that you're more interested in
arguing with the perf developers rather than helping them.
