To me the fundamental question which should be answered before any detail question is: Should we go on and continuously break minor things (i.e. basically give up any stability guarantees) or should we collect a bunch of changes first (leaving vital things untouched for that time) and release all those changes together, in longer intervals? That's IMHO a tough question which we somehow avoided to answer up to now. I would like to see a broader discussion like this first, both approaches have their pros and cons, and whatever we do, there should be some kind of consensus behind it.
Potentially we ought to await Backpack [0], which should make such transitions easier. [0] http://plv.mpi-sws.org/backpack/
