The point is not to freeze the protocol completely, it will clearly continue to evolve even after 1.0. The idea is that once the protocol is declared frozen all future changes are done in a way that preserves backwards compatibility. And the mechanisms to do that are mostly in place now, which is what I mean by saying it is finished.
OK, so in other words the wineserver *is* more or less "independent from such changes".
How can that be? What we want is that DLLs compiled with 1.x, work (at the binary level) with any 1.y server, where x <= y, right?
As long as you don't change the protocol used you can make as many changes as you like to the wineserver. It shouldn't affect dll compatibility.
