My (limited) experience with it is that although 2.n is generally incompatible
with 2.n-1, for some relatively large proportion of extensions it doesn't
matter because they just don't use the parts of the API that changed.

If you make the list API binary-incompatible then obviously the proportion
will shrink dramatically.


A bientot,

Armin.
