I am wording this so strongly because we currently have talk about
creating more abstract org syntax.

This is the situation in which the temptation to skip backwards
compatibility is highest — as is the cost of that, because not updating
will quickly not be an option (because dependencies will follow).

In another situation I would be much more relaxed about this discussion,
but when larger refactoring is on the table, it is important that
backwards compatibility is high in the priorities.

Best wishes,
Arne
