Specifically, if you have to change any code that *uses* the frameworks
in order to make it compile and behave as it did before (or, at least,
as it was expected to behave), that's a source-incompatible (SIC) change.

So, for example, replacing ints with enums is SIC, because downstream
code may have to insert or remove casts.
