In case it helps, I have labeled the issues mentioned in that email
with the "blocker" label [1],
please recheck in case I have missed something.
Also,I think some of the points mentioned there doesn't have an issue
open, maybe is
a good idea to open one

Thanks for bringing this up. As a buildstream user I would expect that
the incompatibilities
are not only documented, but a clear migration path exist if we decide
to use 1.4 coming from 1.2 (ideally automated)
