We are relatively strict keeping our new core code backwards compatible (BC). That compatibility does not come free, but who is it for?
Well it sort of does come free, just most people don't seem to use it.
We already have "/tags/RELX_YY_Z/extensions" (and "/tags/extensions" if they don't follow release numbering schemes (Example here are the Semantic* exts)) as well as "/branches/RELX_YY/extensions" where developers can keep extensions in a state to support BC with that version whilst integrating new features, One example of a dev doing this is the one working on the Favourites extension.
