I partly agree, but there are some things that simply _must_ be changed,
regardless of backward compatibility. There were some real errors made
in the beginning of PHP (register_globals, just to name one). Fixing
them can't be done without breaking compatibility. But I consider that a
good thing. Properly written scripts still work, others need a rewrite.
