each change has to be considered on a case-by-case basis, w/
awareness of historical context.  for example, things that have a
lot of "area under the curve" (integrating usage over time) are
probably not good candidates for capricious change, if you wish to
save time later for hacking instead of for handling bug reports.
however, even for these kinds of things, there may be indeed be
circumstances where a hard break w/ the past accompanied by an
upward compatable alternative is worth the temporary pain.

intent is foreground, but you want to paint a nice scene, which
includes both foreground and background.  finding the background
of things is not an unpleasant way to hone your craft.
