We of course know compatibility is import, but also think we should change
even if it cause incompatibility.
When we introduce incompatibility, we must sure the value brought by the
change is larger than the negative of it.
Previews Releases are released to measure such comparison.
If you think you are a contributor, please say "The incompatibility makes
me sad!!!".
We'll withdraw incompatibilities if such voice is large.

In addition, I sometimes make other committer's proposal withdrawn by such
objection.
