Note that this is a "in new major releases" statement. Breaking code in 
a point release isn't something that happens. I'm not aware of any code
changes in 2.1.2 or 2.1.3 that broke someone's 2.1.1 code. If someone 
can point me to these changes that caused problems, I'd love to see them.

If instead this whole discussion is just usenet noise, with no real point
or purpose, then ignore the previous paragraph. Needless to say, I wait
with baited breath for the collection of shocking incompatibilities to 
roll in.
