Normally being very averse to changing pubic API's, I'm with Andrew and Ian on 
this. If we are going to be making breaking changes, especially if they are 
small, do them all at once.

We have migrated our plugins, but have third-party plugins done the same? Or do 
they wait for us to release the breaking change and then they are "forced" to 
update their plugin? I'm guessing the latter, but that is just a guess.

I think what would help here is a Plugin Migration Guide in cordova-docs that 
gives a nice list of what the plugin developer needs to do. Most plugin devs 
are probably OK with making changes, as long as we tell them what they need to 
know.

If there is a third-party plugin that an app developer needs that is 
abandonware, then they can stick with 2.9.x until the plugin gets updated.
