Agreed on the point of tests. But I'm wondering if we want to track
existing behavioural incompatibilities we know of in a similar
document / as an appendix of it / labels on JIRA.

Granted the binary compatibility is the first and most important
milestone, but I'd hope we could work also on some of the other ones
such as HHH-12454.

I'm not suggesting that we solve them all - but it would be good to
collect a list of known compatibility issues to review once more as
when we decided on breaking some thing we weren't evaluating problems
in the light of continuous delivery requirements.

Thanks,
Sanne
