Yeah, but those are always done through a deprecation path, so there's no immediate breakage. And we've done most of that already, so that should be happening less and less. However, if we did move to a model where we had major and minor releases, then deprecating and removing functions would presumably be restricted to major releases. - Jonathan M Davis
