humm, actually m confused now whether we should consider changing
error code as backward incompatible or not. or its more broken in 2
part? 1 introduced new error code (500-> new error code) 2. changing
to existing error code and which one is backward incompatible?

IMO (considering most users/app checking existing/published error code
range) 1 one should be considered as backward incompatible.
