Why can be answered as 2 different things;

1) Because there are some showstoppers that can be fixed in a MUCH better way 
when BC is ignored.

2) Because there is nobody 'out there' that will find it a really big problem 
if we do break BC before we make a final release for the simple reason that 
this exact released version will not be in any distro's official release.

So, the real question is why not allow this for critical bugfixes. (and those 
only, obviously or else we'll need one in 2 weeks again).

ps. one such bug I'm thinking about is the kactioncollection one (151421)
