Well, users are like icebergs. Only 10% of them are visible. Thus, if 
you break backward compatibility you hit much more users than you would 
expect. Some of them will yell at you, which is actually a pretty good 
outcome. The worse option is that most of them will just suffer silently 
each time you break backward compatibility and after couple of such 
experiences just stop using 0MQ.
