What folllows is more of a characterization than a definition: Number of projects checked: 20+ open source projects and a similar number of commercial projects. Number of unit tests broken by changes in 1.3, across all projects: 1. (Solution: Replace "1" with "1N" in test input.) Number of higher-level tests broken: 0. Number of production breakages observed: 0. It takes a lot of effort to do this checking. I have done it. It takes almost zero time to offer opinions without bothering to check.
