Really? This puzzles me. You're not really supposed to make KBI changes 
in stable- otherwise stable isn't a stable place for vendor KOBJs.

When you make KBI changes, independent of whether head or not, a 
revision bump is useful so that dependent code knows when it has to 
change. This change carries forward and backwards for compilation 
independent of which branch this is in.
