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.
