actually, as the later discussions on BackwardsCompatible show, they are 
different in kind. The BackwardsCompatible is generated more-or-less 
mechanically, and an appointed expert should just look over it to see 
that it looks right; the Context registry will require human judgment, 
and there may be substantial disagreements about the change to be made.

so I think they should be different (but it needs to be clear why it's 
that way).
