That is a very good point. My issues however are much more of a
practical or psychological reason
The pure fact that incompatibilities exist, however small, will
certainly not assure me about BW (8.7 -> 8.6 )compatibility for future
releases and neither for FW(8.6->8.7+).
That's why I voted on this thread and not the other one.

I felt that Greg somehow was very much anticipating trouble rather
than seeing it around already. I was quite impressed by that vision,
but that of course does not mean that he/we is/are correct :).

Cheers
