Thanks for putting this together, this initiative was needed to have this discussion moving forward.

FWIW I'm on the same track as Eric on this topic. 
Ideally, I would love to have a way for the "bindings" to be auto-generated as much as possible from the C++ public headers, and thus they couldn't have different stability guarantee than the C++ API.

Right now I'm not sure we take it by the right end, Who are the clients of a "stable" C API vs a binding API? what are the use cases to solve? A "stable" C API needs to have a smaller surface than the bindings (obviously), but to which extent?
