It's a backward incompatible change. The problem with backward
incompatible changes is that you can do them only so often, if at all.
The reason being that you are forcing 1000s of users through the pain of
upgrading, rewriting their application code, re-testing etc.
So, my guess is we are not going to see any backward incompatible
changes in the future and even if we are (e.g. version 4.0), it won't be
earlier than say 2014 or 2015, when 3.x becomes fully stable.
