I think that's one of the developers' main points: they want to create a true "mainline" GNU/Linux distribution for phones, where that specifically won't happen, and updates (theoretically) go on forever.

Additionally, if you have a phone with a hardware keyboard you can use non-GUI apps, and those are usually more long-lived anyhow.

Where is downcompability like with Symbian/DOS/TOS/System(Mac OS)/AmigaOS/Windows(up to 98SE)

Since both Fremantle and Leste are true GNU/Linux OSs I think you're looking in the wrong direction there.

However, consider 3 decades of GNU/Linux software at your fingertips!
That's what Leste stands for.

I hope we take versioning seriously and make programming documentation easy to follow what calls works in what version.
