    This presupposes some solution which is not available that I've seen.
    Absent a document to evaluate, I'm not sure why we're positing
    backward
    incompatibility as if it were a given.


I think it's helpful to converge on a guideline or a starting point.  I think that's what we're trying to do here.

(We're also, I think, trying to answer the question you asked at the top of this thread.)


I went back and read that again and:

Which is... abstract. Until there is a concrete proposal that has a non-abstract rationale, it's impossible to evaluate on its own terms. I haven't seen anything thus far that requires a breaking change.
