No. Ongoing backward compatibility is of paramount importance in Docutils and the reStructuredText format definition. Any changes made are additions (new constructs which would have failed in the past) or corrections (fixing bugs). Documents from years ago still process properly, using the latest Docutils code. These days changes/additions are infrequent, incremental, and discussed thoroughly on the Docutils-develop mailing list first.
