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.

Sounds like an improvement to me.
My concern was the length of time 4.0 to 5.0
