My vote on the "courtesy upgrade time": 1 release. IOW, keep it backward
compatible in the release the feature is introduced and drop the backward
compat in the release that follows. I'm thinking minor releases here, not
patch releases (and only for as long as major == 0, but we all agree on
that).
