+* Breaking changes must have a proper argumentation with it. While the pre-1.0 state of this crate allows us to be somewhat unstable, **useless breaking changes will be denied**.
 * Minor changes, breaking changes and new features added via Pull Request must be added in the [changelog][changelog] file. It is now **mandatory** to log your changes in the changelog. A short description with a link to your commit/pull request within GitHub is fine. Internal, documentation or meta-changes (travis build change, README instructions updates, ...) don't have to be added in the changelog.
