Since it is not obvious, here is a clarification on milter-greylist
strategic view for backward compatibility:

As a sysadmin, I know stuff that breaks at upgrade time are pure
nuisance. I am therefore heavily biased toward making software that
retain backward compatibity, wether it is with previous release
configuration, or with various OS oddities. 

This is the goal for stable releases (the ones with even minor version
number, latest is 4.4.3). For developement snapshots (odd minor version
number, latest is 4.5.6), we can experiment, since it is advised not for
production, but the goal is to converge into something that works
everywhere whithout a hitch.
