If you're using a pre-1.0 platform, your code is subject to breakage. Also 
you have to opt into upgrading and every major node update has required 
minor changes.

At some point we went from changing the node api a lot to make it better to 
not changing it at all for fear of crying developers. I'm not suggesting we 
open flood gates. I'm suggesting we continue to refine the api and get as 
close to one with no unnecessary warts as we can before going 1.0. Because 
then we really are screwed.
