THIS IS THE SORT OF RARE SITUATION THAT SUGGESTS POSTING IN ALL-CAPS.
IF A RELEASE CHANGES THE FILE FORMAT IN A WAY THAT PREVENTS BACKWARD 
COMPATIBILITY IT NEEDS TO BE CLEARLY BROUGHT TO EVERYONE'S ATTENTION IN 
THE POST WITH THE URLS TO DOWNLOAD IT.

Of course, if it retains backward compatibility it barely matters.

So which will be the case?  And when will it change?
