This is the real world, and pragmatism is expected.
Things are broken in the land of MySQL replication, and thus we should  
fix it.
The fixes are actually available, so why even bother coming up with  
excuses?

Yep it changes/extends the binlog format. Tough! It's an upgrade; just  
like any other, a newer server should be able to be a slave to an  
older master.
But this is important stuff! For instance, adding checksums to the  
binlog prevents a whole load of trouble. Not having it in there since  
the start (yes SashaP, I know you're guilty - plus all those who  
reviewed your code at the time) is a 10 year embarassment. Let's get  
it right, now, shall we?
Thanks


Cheers,
Arjen.
