It's not even a released product yet. Preserving accidental

sad idea.
Come again? CouchDB is most certainly a released product.
I understand the concepts about being able to break backwards
incompatibility
before the legendary 1.0 release of a free software project, but
categorically
denying there is nothing to consider is wildly misleading!
We've been very clear in the past that we might break the API before
1.0 (which
Damien narrowed down to 0.9 now, which is okay). I'm not categorically
denying
that there's client code out there, but we document the changes well
and the
changes required should be minimal and easy to do.
At this stage, client code should not be a concern here.
