Getting my 2 cents in on an old thread...

You missed one of the best ones imo...

New '2.6' is made 3.0 beta, including a new .blend3 file extension which
has a different file association and header so old blender versions
wouldn't even try to load it. Users can manually export legacy .blend files
from 2.6 (3.0) with various caveats.

Writing files which people will think should work but will just crash old
blender seems like a 'colosally bad idea'. It will only further cement
blender's status as an unreliable amateur hobbiest tool. Blender should
never crash.
