- Avoid changing the user experence if at all possible. - this is too
strong condition. In some cases fixing a bug might inevitable change the
user experience and in some cases for example the user experience might
be just severally improved with the new release. So IMO this should be
reworded with much less strong wording such as 'Avoid major changes and
worsening the user experience if at all possible.'
Define "worsening" being different by itself is "worsening" for a lot
of people.
This example is IMO wrong:
- WebKit requires an update to solve a security problem. This requires
updating Midori to a version with some minor menu layout changes. This
would be a judgement call based on how intrusive the changes are
(removing the File menu would be rude, but moving the plugin
configuration menu item would be acceptable).
In this case even major changes in user experience are justified -
knowingly insecure web browser just should not be used.
That isn't any different than the firefox example on the page i.e
already covered.
