--- Comment #18 from Pedro Alves <palves at redhat dot com> ---
I wasn't involved in the irc discussion, but I've discussed this with Simon
before.  Adding my 2c.

IMO, we should go the -break-list-2 route.

Tying command fixes to MI versions (like the v4 idea) is an inferior solution
IMO, because then you can't e.g., backport individual command fixes.  It's an
either all-or-nothing solution.  To get a fix present in v6, you need all of
v3, v4, v5.

I'd think a jump of MI version would only be justified when we want to change
something fundamental that would break compatibility across manhy commands and
events, like switching to json, or changing how lists/tuples/etc. are
represented, or something like that.
