I've pushed the two first on the clowncopter

I think you are getting this wrong. The changes move from declaring 
compatibility from "1.9.3" to "1.9".

I'm not sure what I think about it. I certainly already did change that 
break BC between bug fixe release (when bug is super bad).

But I kind of agree that updating for each version is too tedious to 
ever happen (I do not do it).

I'll let the nigh rest over it.
