For the sake of poor public school teachers who may only teach one class of programming and have a panic attack when they discover that the assignment that they spent several hours on just doesn't work anymore the night before they plan to use it (or, in my case, the day they give it to their classes)...
Please come up with a porting guide from world to universe and post it somewhere obvious in the docs! I'm afraid our willingness to break backwards compatibility causes teachers who have the least amount of time to stay up to date to abandon the curriculum, not because they want to, but because they get frustrated at having to re-do the same assignment multiple times to keep up with the moving target. This is especially hard for people who don't, as a rule, run the nightly builds and can't see the changes coming.
