Regarding backward compatibility... I think we might have broken it once
already during the course of 1.4[A-Z], and it was somthing that had to
be dealt with.  The only thing that was broken was file descriptor passing,
which ~nothing uses, so I just bit the bullet and fixed it.  It'll be fixed
for 1.5 now, and we can actually write an application that uses fd passing
now (I have a couple in mind :-)
