If the APIs are designed well, you:

1- Won't be dealing with structs directly, only through accessors /  
mutators (ABI stability).

2- Won't have to know / care what underlying type you're dealing with  
anyway.

If we ever want to have a chance of supporting a modular kernel really  
well, then we need to have better ABI stability in our kernel, which  
means forcing the issue of opaque types.
