<h2><a name="Compatibility_Considerations_">Compatibility Considerations</a></h2> |

<p>Support for forward-compatibility is a fundamental design principle for the |

OpenPegasus project. As a Community, our goal is for well-behaved OpenPegasus |
<ol> |
Providers or Clients, using only the externally defined OpenPegasus interface, |
</ol> |
to continue to work with a minor version upgrade of OpenPegasus. However, there |
|
are certain classes of errors (e.g., non-compliance with a standard that |
|
significantly affects interoperability) that may require the Community to make |
|
potentially incompatible changes. The following table contains a list of defect |

fixes that MAY impact, even well-behaved, OpenPegasus Providers or Clients when |
