In the quick release, I have no problem with backward compatibility. Moving forward, I heavily value progress over backward compatibility. I expect API changes will be openly discussed before they occur. I want to see Jini move ahead and I don't think the limited uptake of the past ought to be made into a boat anchor for future progress.
