i.e. apply the same post 1.0 rules to pre-1.0 releases.
I think that makes 0.21 effectively 1.0. The hallmark of 1.0 will be
our promise not to change APIs incompatibly until 2.0. If we make that
promise sooner, then we're just accelerating 1.0.
I understood that the plan was to add inter-release wire compatibility
after 1.0, somewhere in the 1.x series of releases. So, e.g., if we add
it in 1.1, then a 1.1 and 1.2 cluster would be able to make RPCs to one
another, but 1.0 would not be able to make RPCs to these releases or
vice versa.
