Indeed.

I started a page: http://gmplib.org/devel/incompatibility.html

We might want to classify incompatibilities as source, binary, and both.

I have not listed obsolete functions.  The cost of retaining obsolete
function compatibility is very low; the temptation to remove such
compatibility for the sake of purity should perhaps be resisted.

Please send updates to me or to the list.
