Could we do these discussions in this mailing list or in the issue
itself? It would tremendously increase the visibility.

In some cases 24h will not be achievable, but for example I see possible
actions we can take with these kind of broken APIs. That is, does the
API show a warning every time a view is modified? If yes, we can
document this and let developers know about this, so that they can do
all the hard job in advanced. This won't be true for all the cases of
course.

In general I would say:

* Can developer's guess that their commit will break the API? In what
  percent of the cases can we be trained for this?
* In case of doubt, developers can always use "try" first.
* There will always be a minimal downtime of "int". If we estimate that
  the discussion is going to take a lot of time (4 days = alot), I would
  prefer to back out these changesets and to come back when the
  definitive solution when it's ready.
