Oleg,

"Yes, there will be breaking changes. Its not a question of IF, but
rather WHEN."

I disagree.  It is always a question of IF.

We have to be extremely judicious in the use of breaking changes and
we owe the user/developer based excellent justification in such cases.

I will comment on the Wiki page for the substance of this particular
proposal (documentation generation).
