I think "recurrent" is a relatively tough statement, I'm using
CMake for 7+ years now and never get caught by such an issue.

I think that, CMake developpers are indeed very concerned with
backward compatibilty.
POLICY are made for that.
CMake test suite and related dashboard are there too.

The fact is sometimes you can not imagine what people do with the software
you make :-]

So breakage during RC is not that bad.
