If you bump the ABI, is there any reason to keep backwards compatible functions?
The ABI will break, but I'm also considering source-level "API" compatibility. Which isn't an all-or-nothing issue; different applications use different subsets of the API.
Sure. If it was easier, one would want to for example build all reverse-dependencies in Debian using an updated Nettle to see what percentage of packages break and how... but this is not that simple to do.
