Yes, of course. But they go to considerable lengths to provide upward
compatibility, and when they can't, they provide a migration path and
controlled change. But in any case this is just a gratuitous change with
heavy costs for all the software. If you have an API, and this is part of
one, then changing it randomly under people's feet so it breaks their
products is a sure fire way of driving all but the most dedicated and
masochistic customers away.
