I might kindly disagree. There are many instances where backward compatibility was broken in order to clean things up and move on. Vtk 4.x to 5.x was one of those. My code broke with the 5.x release BUT it was for the better. And more importantly I was given plenty of notice that it was coming. The jump from 2.4 to 2.6 seems like a good time to make the break and clean things up. As long as there is a comprehensive list of breakage I don't think people will have a real problem with it.


Sure, but when you moved from VTK 4.x to 5.x you got compile time errors. If we change this, something will most likely silently fail.
