Description
I just wanted to pitch the following thought with the hope to get a conversation going.
Talking to @traversaro I was wondering if it would be possible to remove the distro mutex version and instead rely more on run_exports with the goal to not lock all packages together around a shared distro mutex version but instead based on ABI compatibility of binary packages (ament_cmake).

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by locating where vinca handles the distro mutex version and where run_exports is generated, then trace how recipes are affected. Done would require an agreed design and validation that package compatibility is governed by ABI compatibility rather than one shared mutex version.
