Actually Neil,

Apologies now I am taking a closer look at your email.
I understand what is going on.

Patch 1/4 separates the ABI Policy from the detail of ABI Version
management, but it is still old policy that your where reading at this
point, hence all the references to DPDK 2.0 and why it doesn't

Patch 2/4 is the _new policy_, where you will see that all references to
2.0 have been removed.

You other points around the needing a taxonomy still are 100% valid
though and I am working on adding a diagram.
