Not necessarily. When people see long lists of breaking changes in a release, 
they may just put off upgrading / marking the library compatible. 

I think we should be very wary of how far we bend the difference between 
"minor" and "major" releases. 

For these changes, I'd like to hear the argument *against* starting with a 
Warning. Is there any significant burden to waiting until 9.0 for these to 
become errors?
