We do some of this for large issues with the "compatible" connection
option. But in most cases we don't bother because it makes the driver
more complex and less maintainable.
Instead we just put API changes in the current development version only
and don't backport to older stable drivers, under the assumption that
people will not blindly move their applications to a new major version
without retesting.
