I do not think there is anything more than "we wish there were fewer
such end-user facing changes."

The purpose of having anything in contrib/ is to give them a way to
gain more visibility than they otherwise would as standalone
projects on their own. I don't want to control the day-to-day
quality issues in them.  That is what we have "guilty parties" for
contrib/ subdirectories for, so that they can decide how mature
their pieces in contrib/ are and what kind of b/c break is
acceptable ;-)

Thanks.
