Can you define again "backward compatible"? Does that mean with your proposed 
change, a 2.1.2-saved file cannot be read by 2.0.x as long as 1. it contains 
scheduled transactions, and 2. the user doesn't manually set this key the 
other way round? Which version would be the earliest gnucash version that can 
read the new file?

Also, does that mean we've already agreed that a 2.2.0-saved data file cannot 
be read by 2.0.x?

As for my thoughts here: I prefer infinite forward and backward 
compatibility :-) but if this cannot happen, then 2.1.2 is okay. I'm still 
flipping back and forth between 2.0.x and trunk on my data file, though, but 
I know the options that I have.
