Let's please drop this meme that "v10 is a great time to break things".
We don't want this to be any worse than any other major-version upgrade.
If we throw thirty different major incompatibilities in at once, we're
going to be hearing about how painful it was for the next decade, even if
any one of them individually would have been manageable. Or, if we make
the pain factor too high, users will simply not upgrade, and we'll be
faced with demands that we support 9.6 forever.
