This is only true on a per-feature basis. For example, if feature A is deprecated in v3.1, and feature B is deprecated in v3.2, then v3.3 will be "compat" with v3.2 only as far as feature B is concerned; feature A will no longer be present in v3.3. Under these circumstances, saying "v3.3 will be compat with v3.2" with no caveats sounds to me like false advertising.
