Not actually stabilizing, but making it semi-public. (at dist level in
an separate package). Of course, external state trackers need to built
to the right gallium versions, but that can be handled at dist level.

I do not. I intent to build an cairo device backend directly ontop of
gallium. And yes: I know that the API is in flux therefore the cairo
backend needs to be kept up-to-date.
