For me with my user hat on I don't think backward compatibility is really 
needed. The important thing is that people know that there is no guarantee that 
there will be any. Probably a statement on the "migrating" doc page will be 
enough, i.e. 
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/datadirectory/migrating.html
