Our support policy regarding bytecode changes and deprecation cycles is
instead docs/project/support_policy.pod. In particular:
In future releases, we might make changes to the bytecode format that
would prevent bytecode generated on one supported release from running
on a later supported release. These changes will follow our usual
deprecation guidelines, with adequate advance notice.

That is contrary to our discussed and documented backwards compatibility
policy, as you can read in the document from which I previously quoted.
