Folks, this is the *wrong* topic to discuss it.

PS (basking in offtop): Thanks, Dmitry, I was looking for such a doc for jslib.

Those changes are opaque to me and I shouldn't need to know about them. Instead I should be able to opt into using new features when I know I need them. This is easily achieved by setting the desired microversion when you know you need it.

This is how all CLI in the world work: you either get a behavior or you get a clear failure. It's the other way around: if you want to fix the feature set, and you know what you're doing, you can set a specific version in your environment.

Draw the border here: a regular user is someone who doesn't know what a microversion even IS, to say nothing about a way to find the required microversion for a feature. These are the users I've dealt with and they have all been frustrated by using microversions explicitly.
