So, we should discuss whether we do it now or in 5.0. My take is that it's a no brainer to do what the KIP is proposing: it's good for everyone (less maintenance for us, reduced risk for users). Also, no code changes are required for this KIP. So, I think we should consider making an exception. was (Author: ijuma): To be clear, we cannot change the client upgrade guarantees outside of a major release.
