Whether tis nobler to break backwards compat or upstream compat...

[Shahms King]

One of the packages I maintain in Extras (python-quixote) just released
the next stable version (2.0).  This version is not (entirely) backwards
compatible with the current 1.2 version and is not parallel installable.

This begs the question of the best practice for packaging such changes.
Since it is a relatively recent package, do I just "go for it" and
upgrade the devel/FC4 packages, leaving FC3 untouched, or package it as
"python-quixote2" (with requisite installation changes) and thus break
with upstream?
