That is not the understanding I have of how to handle Clirr errors,
nor does the doc [1] actually say that.
The cited doc [1] does not detail the process for major releases.

A major release can be binary incompatible, but in that case a new
package name and Maven coords are needed so the old and new versions
can co-exist.

Errors reported by Clirr can never be ignored.

In all cases, errors must be examined.
The Clirr plugin does not distinguish binary and source compatibility
issues, so it's not always obvious what to do.

In this case, additions to interfaces are binary compatible - i.e.
don't create problems at run-time - however source changes may be
required if a 3rd party source implements the interface.

Is it possible to avoid these by using default implementations?
Are the interfaces part of the external API?

Any Clirr errors should be noted in the Release Notes, with
information on how they affect the user.
