Robert Muir created LUCENE-4943:
-----------------------------------
Summary: remove 'Changes to Backwards Compatibility Policy' from
lucene/CHANGES.txt
Key: LUCENE-4943
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4943
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Robert Muir
Fix For: 4.4
CHANGES.txt is useful to summarize the changes in a release.
However its expected that a lot of changes will impact the APIs, this currently
hurts the quality of CHANGES.txt because it leads to a significant portion of
changes (whether they be bugs, features, whatever) being grouped under this one
title.
It also leads to descriptions of CHANGES being unnecessarily verbose.
I think it makes CHANGES confusing and overwhelming, and it would be better to
have a simpler 'upgrading' section with practical information on what you
actually need to do (like Solr's CHANGES.txt).
