Dear PHP-FIG,

Please stop trying to solve generic problems. Solve the 50% problem, not the 99% problem.

Signed,

Yes, you read that right. If your project aims to provide backwards compatibility as a primary goal, you’re a sucker. Tons of popular software projects from PHP to Microsoft Windows have stated goals of providing Backwards Compatibility between releases. And yes, I am here to say that they are doing it wrong.
