   > I think we could state that the expert APIs (`DirectoryReader#open` and 
`SegmentInfos#readCommit` methods that take a `minSupportedMajorVersion`) 
remain to open older indices in read-only mode for users that plug in older 
codecs via SPI and maintain them themselves, but Lucene provides full 
compatibility and no built-in separate binary compatibility for indices that 
can no longer be written to. How does this sound?
   
   Plaase lets just get rid of all this and reduce the confusion. its now 
obselete.
