In general under this scheme we should be able to avoid backwards breaks better I think (e.g. dont backport things to stable that backwards break). If you want analyzers to actually work across major releases that seems to be more challenging, but maybe minimizing the interface between analyzers<->queryparser and analyzers<->indexer as much as possible could help. -- Robert Muir rcm...@gmail.com
