To make things more concrete, here's a (hopefully completely
hypothetical) example of the problem. Suppose that the community
proposes replacing System V packaging with RPM. In order to do that,
we'll need two things: (1) a change in ON to switch packaging methods
for the system software itself and (2) a Major release into which to
integrate this project, as it's clearly in no way compatible with
existing Solaris.
tangent.....
I don't think that is necessarily a feature that needs Major binding.
If the release continued to support SVR4 packaging but wasn't itself
installed using it that could in theory be okay for a minor release -
particularly if a sufficient "contents" file was still available so that
unbundled SVR4 packaged things still worked okay with dependencies.
Sorry couldn't resist!
