Note that it remains in order to resist a decision on the grounds that it would break existing code or be otherwise inconvenient for existing implementations -- if a WG member objects to a proposed change to the component model on the grounds that it would adversely affect an existing API, they are not out of order. Equally, it remains in order to propose changes to the component model or its description. If a WG member proposes or supports a change to the component model, they are not out of order even if other WG members believe that it would adversely affect an existing API. In effect, the formal situation is exactly the status quo ante: things are as they were before, but we have clarified that it is neither out of order to change (or proposed to change) the component layer, nor to resist such changes.
