> Thought it again, if this new splitPolicy is useable in branch-2.2 and
branch-2.3, but disappear in branch-2.4 without deprecated cycle, is it break
the compatibility guarantee?
Yeah, we can't simply remove it between minor releases.

Agreed!
> 2: In minor branch set it as default policy and mark SteppingSpliyPolicy
and IncreasingToUpperBoundRegionSplitPolicy as deprecated, at the same time fix
the ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy.
Just to confirm my understanding of your proposal: adding the new policy as
default, deprecation of the overridden ones and fix of
ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy should go on master and branch-2 branches, whilst
branch-2.2 and branch-2.3 would only have the new policy added? If so, I'm +1
for that.
