With the end of Swift 3 drawing near, we'll need to start designing with an eye toward backward compatibility. To that end, I think we should update the "Impact on existing code" proposal template to start asking writers to consider backward compatibility concerns. Here's some draft verbage to that effect:

Any concerns, revisions, or objections?
