By "strict back-compat", do you mean "people who would like their search app to not fail silently"? ;) A "new user" who follows your advice... // haha stupid noob StandardAnalyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(Versons.LATEST); ... is going to get screwed when the default tokenization behavior changes. And it would be much worse if we follow my preference for making the arg optional without following my preference for keeping defaults intact: // haha eat it luser StandardAnalyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(); It's either make the arg mandatory when changing default behavior and recommend that new users pass a fixed argument, or make it optional but keep defaults intact between major releases.
