as long as you can still use existing cards, and do simple changes (e.g. unblock PINS, replace a certificate), it is not that bad if other stuff is broken. but if we end up saying "users of cryptoflex cards initialized with opensc 0.11.* or earlier need to stay at that version and not update to 0.12" we have a problem - few people will like that. even if not so many people are affected, it is still bad publicity and will give bug reports again and again (nobody reads FAQs and release notes).
