[MirageOS-devel] mirageos 3.0 : let's break some APIs

[Mindy <mindy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks!

With some exciting new developments (OCaml 4.03 with flambda, `result`, 
`logs`) and users, it's probably time to think about the broad world of 
possibilities unlocked by big changes to mirage-types. Here are some 
things that recently have been mentioned:

* rename the `V1` and `V1_LWT` modules to something unversioned, like 
`S` or `MIRAGE`
* replace or augment the `error` types with Result.result

* break up `mirage-types` into a package per module type, so module 
types can be independently changed and released
* changes to the semantics of functions in low-level module type 
definitions like `FS` and `NETWORK`

I'm surely missing many things folks would want to incorporate in a big 
API-breaking release -- please do let us know what they are. :)
Also, if you have any long-standing PRs or issues that are blocked 
because you don't want to do a big API-breaking change, links to them 
would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Mindy
