I don't completely agree.
A developer may assume an event will never exceed MAX value.
However, after an upgrade of DPDK without app rebuild,
a higher event value may be received in the app,
breaking the assumption.
Should we consider this case as an ABI breakage?

Interesting. I am not sure it is always ABI-safe though.
