We try to. That's part of the change process. Fedora, as a fast moving
distribution, doesn't make any promises that new versions will be backwards
compatible like that, but of course we try to minimize the pain where
possible and where it's reasonable given the upstream package. If there is
an incompatible change, we do try to make users aware and put it in the
release notes, or at least in the "common bugs" list after the fact.
Software is complicated and configuration possibilities infinite, so it's
not actually aways known when upgrades will have an impact. But we try.
