The first paragraph for the ABI non-goal section attacks a bunch of straw men about why a stable ABI is bad, then the second paragraph says they would actually be ok with doing what people actually want when they say they want a stable ABI.

My read this is a matter of not wanting to be forced into maintaining a stable ABI vs admitting that a stable ABI is good and useful and encouraging other people to handle it.

Less charitably, it is saying, yes stable ABI is good but it is not our problem.
