I agree in principle with this last statement, except that to
me it violates the principle of least astonishment to have
a mandatory configuration file format change happen between
1.0 and 1.0.1.  A change like should have a bigger change in
version number in order to highlight it.  When I see a change
as small as 1.0 to 1.0.1, I tend to think only a few very
minor changes have been made, or maybe only bug fixes.
