Please let's not widen this discussion into something else but the question which versioning policy we are to apply. Building some kind of "compatibility layer" could be done regardless of the next Lift version number.
Do we have a consensus, that there are several substantial changes breaking source and binary compatibility? And do we have a consensus, that this is something which requires increasing the major version number?
