It is a simple use of an existing type in the API. I can create my own
instances of such a type, even if I cannot hand them off to anything
GObject related. I could store signal handlers there, for example.
Bottom line: a published type changed size. ABI break.
I don't know if any applications out there do this and you probably
don't either. But it is a valid thing to do.
Maybe there should be an API/ABI stability documented that spells
out the rules.
