Yeah... it doesn't help developers view it as a nice stable platform to
develop for. Even so, I don't see this as likely to be a particularly
bad blow - and the potential gains are IMO significant.

I think all the changes tend to knock any 'incompatible' edges off the code. Those who have written portably and followed the API guidelines will be the most rewarded :)

Have fun,
Shay
