I think we are confusing forward compatibility with backwards compatibility. Most major releases have introduced something that would not compile under a previous release. All releases can run things that were valid in a previous release. Not guaranteed to compile, as assert used to not be a keyword, but by and large this is the case. (I don't recall all of the exceptions.)
Definitely. Java is mostly backward compatible and I feel Java 8 will be the first exception.
