    <title>Compatibility</title>

    <para>In the development of any complex software platform, there is a need
    to strike a balance between backwards compatibility and new development.
    In most cases, compatibility will be maintained as long as reasonably
    possible. Necessary compatibility breaks will be done only as needed and
    in major releases.</para>
