@DaanHoogland I appreciate the fact that you are being cautious with any sort of backward compatibility issues. This is something that deserves such attention, so it is really good that you raised it. If this goes in 4.17, we might need to make sure that this is announced then, so users/admins are aware of such change. Checking at the [Releases](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Releases) in CWIKI, there is the following description regarding backward compatibility: > The community strives to ensure **backward API compatibility** within each major version (i.e.: code written against the CloudStack 4.0.0-incubating API should work with all future 4.y.z versions) It looks that our main effort is to keep the API backward compatibility within each version; however, it does not state covering configurations or other parts. I assume that as far as the upgrade process covers the changes, this should be OK. However, I agree that this could lead to scripts breaking (especially on deployment, where such configuration would probably be changed). So I assume that we might need to open it for a public discussion and eventually do a few changes on documentation and cover such cases. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
