Thanks for the heads up about Deb9. I hadn't seen that yet. Moving to 
Devuan myself.

But all this talk about PHP is off topic. Its just one example. I guess 
I'll take these comments to mean that the official stance on binary 
backwards compatibility is that there is less then 0 concern. So I should 
expect that all compiled software will need to be patched and recompiled 
potentially with each point release. This is a surprise.

Bummer.
