No, but each release raises cmp exceptions in cases it didn't the release
before.  If we were dead serious about "no backward incompatibility ever, no
way no how", I'd expect arguments just as intense about that.  So I conclude
we're not dead serious about that.  Which is good!  But in a world without
absolutes, there are no killer arguments either.
