After giving it some thought, the following proposal seems like something I could live with:* A point release (X.1,X.2,X.1.2, etc.) MUST NOT contain any backwards incompatible changes. * A major release MAY contain backwards incompatible changes if both of the following conditions are true:- The change was announced in the release notes for the previous version (major or minor)- The change was announced in a release that occurred at least six months previously. By these rules, we can announce, in V5.1, our plans to make a backwards incompatible change in V6.0. Then, in V6.0, if it's been at least six months since V5.1 was released, we can make the change.
This sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
