Well, the agreement really was that for a major release, any API changes
can be done (if well-justified, having a migration path, and the like).
For a minor release, only a certain class of changes can be done, but
this class is not yet defined (see my other mail). Obviously, the
*Filter*2 API was not considered to fit into that class. The most
convincing argument I heard came from Eike:

Not sure if this still holds nowadays (my understanding always was it
doesn't), but I didn't try.
Ciao
