Does it mean that a Netlink interface becomes official (and backward
compatibility should not be broken) only once iproute2 starts
supporting it?

It needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.  Sometimes we can quickly
fix a poorly designed netlink interface is no major tool takes on use of
the feature.
