That's is what I wonder about. I'm just pedantic and likely misreading
this line:

Wouldn't it be much more convenient to introduce required and projected
API-Breaks at the start of a new development-series e.g. at 3.90 (so now,
during this days?), 4.90 and so on? So especially developers of GNOME and
others which follow the development-series would have an easier life,
because subsequent breaks between 3.90 and 4.00 or 4.0 and 5.0 will less
likely.
