So please post your thoughts and arguments. I hope we can come to a conclusion within a few days. This is a timely issue because we aim to make a minor release on the 1st of June and we want to finalise the list of package versions two weeks prior, by the 18th of May.
I'm in favour of allowing API 'upgrades': I don't think forwards compatiblity is that valuable, and I think that making life as easy as possible for maintainers (i.e. reduce the chances that they have to fork their package to support both the next minor release and the next major release) is a good thing.
