Breaking API changes should get more seldom once we get closer to the
release. Currently I expect us to provide KDevelop 4.1 with KDevplatform
2.0, i.e. do a new major version of that because we need to break BC.
However in the long term that will simply not happen anymore.

And quite frankly, if nobody even care's to get that stuff compileable,
then its simply dead code and should be moved to tags/unmaintained/4.

No, GenericProjectManager is that thing in kdevplatform/plugins which
currently only supports choosing a directory and providing a tree of
files/folders in that directory. Its currently almost useless for
anything. Custom Makefile support is in kdevelop/buildtools, but unlike
the KDevelop3 version it only support Make, not other buildtools.
