What I would propose is that we plan to get the next LTR release out and widely advertise at that time that we are planning to break API after the LTR for the next release - if we have concluded at that point that we have a compelling reason to do so. In the build up to that (i.e. before the LTR is released next year) we can lay out the plans for what will be done in the 3.0.
