What Paul tries to say here is:
(Apologies for the unreadable earlier reply, my mail system was being
uncooperative)
I don't think that they feel backward compatibility is unimportant.
Rather, the issue is backward compatibility vs. fixing security holes.
If a security hole is considered significant and fixing it requires
turning something off that used to be on, this is indeed incompatible,
and such a change is the correct one.
It might be debatable whether the change is justified in this specific
case, but the implication that this is careless seems wrong to me.
