Braden Shepherdson commented on CB-3459:
----------------------------------------
Let's distinguish between changes that break the tools for plugin developers,
and changes that break the tools for application developers. This is the former
- it only matters if you're maintaining a plugin.xml somewhere. For that, I
think yes, we can break backwards compatibility in this not-yet-really-released
tools.
We seem to have fallen into the trap of "release early, discover when you try
to release often that people depend on your alpha crap you're trying to fix."
These tools should have had a nice big "alpha, under heavy development, expect
suffering" warning label on them from the beginning, that we removed with 3.0
and their official launch.
Now we're looking at the npm downloads and worrying about breaking things, with
tools that have evolved massively in the last few weeks already, quite apart
from this change. Plugin authors will have to update eventually - how much work
are we prepared to do to buy them two months of wiggle room for a 90-second
change to their plugin.xml files?
