What incompatible change does this make that requires a Major release?
(I think the checklist should actually be updated to specify "ARC review
required" for Major - while Solaris/OpenSolaris has been opened to limited
Major release changes, they are still limited, and we should know exactly
what they all are. For most FOSS cases that qualify for using the checklist,
"Major" simply indicates a misunderstanding of the question - adding completely
new software should normally be "Patch or Micro", and cases should choose the
smallest release binding possible, to avoid needless re-review if someone ever
has a business case to backport to a previous release.)
