    initial v1  
    55While I understand the reasoning behind the suggestion, I would be careful about using backward compatibility language here, as UI and workflows aren't something I personally consider to be within the scope of the BC promise (otherwise markup, attributes, element tags, order of elements, etc could ''never'' change - which would be a nightmare for a11y I'm sure we'd all agree). The only backward compatibility promises that we make with filters are that their hook name and parameters will not be changed (unless deprecated), and that they will remain available for extender usage even if deprecated. What happens with the filtered data is another matter.

    7 I'd suggest that we answer "What am I filtering?" in the docblock, and "What does filtering this do?" in the 6.5.4 communications (dev note, release post, etc). If this seems insufficient to prevent tutorials and the like from communicating the wrong message to extenders, I'd recommend that we reach out to MarComms, Outreach, and possibly project leadership, to see if they can help with that communication.
