Who has to do that is the JBoss XB developer, not Jay, as they may have 
the proper testing procedure.  Alternatively, he can let it go through a 
complete QA cycle first, inside a CP release, if he feels confident the 
changes are absolutely backwards compatible.

The product line is not using update1.  When it does, it will be based 
on the opinions of the developers that work on the product and it will 
be fully tested by the QA department (and jbossxb developers if that is 
deemed necessary).

So, contrary to what you say, the -brew versions are much safer than 
binaries that have not been properly QAed.

Furthermore, adding <compatible> lines or not is a developers procedure, 
has NOTHING to do with how it was built.
