Hi everyone :wave:
Considering the project setup where you would have implicit dependencies with particular version of kotlinx coroutines enforced, how safe would that be in case of 3rd party dependencies? Would it impose any risk when a library has been compiled with one version of coroutines core but using newer version in the runtime? In case of most API breaking changes it’s quite easy as it will fail during compilation phase but I wonder how safe would it be to assume that breaking changes within core would always come with some new API :thinking_face:

Only preview or experimental APIs (that require opt-in) can potentially break.

And even for experimental APIs, binary compatibility is kept for a while after changes (in a best-effort).
