For a long time we try to tell our users to recompile their applications when upgrading. With over 150 dependencies, upgrading a Cocoon application and hoping for binary compatibility is very very brave.
The other point is that we did such changes (and noone complained in the past). If you upgrade from 2.1.8 to 2.1.9 you might now what a pain it is as mostly everything in cforms changed. Jeremy's lastes changes sound to me like minor changes and as they are well documented I see no real problem with. If we want to go the 100% compatiblity path, the only option is to do changes like these in 2.2...
