Gun to my head the ranking makes sense - but I don't think it has any
practical application. Plugin back compat is important and independnt
of the urls.
I think solrj back compat is important too - I can understand
experimental, but it's still important.

FWIW, I agree with Ryan's ranking below:
In general, I wonder where the solr back-compatibility contract
applies (and to what degree). For solr, I would rank > the
importance as:
#1 - the URL API syntax. Client query parameters should change as
little as possible
#2 - configuration
#3 - java APIs
And it depends on exactly what the Java API is of course... common
analysis components like filter factories probably being the most
important of the Java APIs.
