So since when are we in production? My understanding is that the first production release starts with 1.0
1.0 is production.
With this change we lost now cross-version bytecode portability and we will win the habit of randomly changing ops and pmc numbers as before. The pbc designers thought about that long and hard, and set a date when these random changes should stop and should be exchanged about a support policy which should help keeping backwards portability.
It's been a long time since anyone thought it was a good idea to freeze changes to the bytecode at some arbitrary point. Any feature where you tell users "we will never change the internal implementation or interface of X" means you can never improve that part of the project. Get enough of those, and your project dies.
What we will do is make the bytecode changes respect the usual deprecation cycle.
