Short answer: correct
Long answer: plugins are *upward* compatible within a major stable release
(e.g. 1.4.x, 1.6.x) but not between major stable releases (1.4.x vs 1.6.x).
Within unstable releases (1.5.x, 1.7.x) the API may change any time, so
plugins may stop working even within the same major unstable release.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
