   > the stability of downstream project bring some backport load
   
   Keeping downstream projects up to date with the latest release is an 
especially important concern. If a downstream project cannot upgrade, any 
project that depends on both that downstream project and DataFusion will also 
be unable to upgrade because of Cargo’s major version resolution rules.
   
   There may be cases where the compatibility issue could be addressed 
relatively easily in DataFusion (for example, by gating the incompatible 
behavior behind a feature flag), while the proper downstream adaptation would 
require months of focused work and effectively stall other development efforts.
   
   Strong +1 on having a backport policy, but ideally these scenarios should 
also be taken into account when defining it.
