Good point Martin;

I have created the following jira QA blocker against 2.4.0 to ensure the 
@since and other QA checks are dealt with before 2.4.0 goes out the door:
- http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1063
> Could it be that the trouble in building Geoserver against 
> Geotools-trunk is partially caused by ourself not following our "API 
> change" policy with enough discipline? I saw some public methods where 
> the signature was changed instead of adding a new method and 
> deprecating the old one. It also seem to me that the proposal to add a 
> "@since 2.4" javadoc tag to every new API is not widely applied. So 
> how a Geoserver developper is expected to know which API is stable and 
> which API may fluctuate because not yet commited in a release?
