It is a simple rule, but not one that must be followed blindly. Please do not be dogmatic. Sometimes, we have to "break" an obscure case in order to make progress. We cannot be 100% bug-compatible with older versions, except if we completely stop development. We must make use of common sense, and balance the benefit with the drawbacks. The drawbacks include how frequent the use case is, and also how easy it is to fix. I think it would be reasonable to set a three months warning in configure: ./configure --enable-msvc --enable-nvidia ERROR: support nVidia drivers with MSVC will be removed on 2018-06-01 unless somebody steps in to fix and test it. ./configure --enable-msvc --enable-nvidia --enable-nvidia-temporary WARNING: support nVidia drivers with MSVC will be removed on 2018-06-01 unless somebody steps in to fix and test it.
