Nobody intentionally BREAKS things. Upstream KDE releases are supposed to be 
backwards compatible, data migration is something which is taken care of. 
For example, Nepomuk will migrate your data from the Redland (or Sesame2) 
backend used in older KDE releases to Virtuoso which is now the default as 
of 4.4. Akonadi also automatically migrates your contacts to the new format.
