Yep, that's exactly the why you can talk all you want about "upward 
compatible changes" and how to write version numbers and all that, and it's 
still not going to work. Hence MS's "side by side" stuff.

In particular, in vi, moving the cursor left after you insert something is 
*wrong* but also the sort of thing that I've found breaks my fingers in the 
version I found where they'd "fixed" that.
