I'd like to understand the practical impact of this change. To answer the question "Would it really help?" can we say what impact it would have had on past releases if we had had this policy in place all along? Or said another way: what index format changes have we made that would have caused a MIN_SUPPORTED_VERSION bump in the past? I assume that adding new formats wouldn't cause a bump, and as long as we can cleanly read and merge from an old format, we wouldn't have to bump either. Given that, I don't think we introduced any incompatibilities in 9 or 10, did we? Is it really true the only issue we can point to like this is the norms changes that happened before my time being active here, or were there other things? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
