There are changes affecting backwards compatibility. Anything that means
you may have to rewrite you scripts during a minor upgrade is not good.
Other committers take decisions about their own changes: in my case,
r297602 which is really minor is something that I am not considering
to MFC.

Yes but consider, within reason, there would be no license issues (IANAL).
