You can count the BC break from 2.0 to 2.1 in https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/Form/CHANGELOG.md . No 2.2 BC are listed (yet) because most of them are hidden by legacy classes but go grep for @deprecated in the Form component, you'll find quite a lot of "future" (ie 2.3) BC breaks. Regarding maintenance, what's your experience with debugging/extending the Form component ? And don't get me wrong, I don't say that we should never break BC - If it could improve the component, it's a go while we have the opportunity to do so (ie pre-2.3) ! > > TL;DR: it's not great as it is, but it's hardly awful.
