<p dir="auto">Steps 1,2,3 are fine for this function, step 1 as soon as anybody does it, and as we will need bump the ABI at step 2 it forces a recompile which will fail for any plugins still using the old call, so its all safe.</p>
<p dir="auto">I read it as intended to be applied to this function only, but obviously it can be applied to any other individual function we want to change the behaviour of.</p>
<p dir="auto">IIUC what the compile time part does is shrinks the period between steps 2 and 3, a plugin that was only re-compiled at steps 1 and 3 would then be using the new behaviour by accident, so some time is needed, but if a compile time check is also implemented it would allow it to be only one release cycle.</p>
