I don't really understand this part. We try very very hard to be compatible between versions. It's true that we don't always succeed, but it must be an exceptionally complex code for whichh the upgrade takes more than a few hours at most, looking at the changelog files we produce. It would actually be quite instructive to see what concretely the obstacles to forward porting are, as I have a hard time seeing the big issues.
