I am not bringing a conclusion yet but my "idea of the day"™ is: what
does the
HDF group do about it? And they have a document explaining how backward
and
forward compatibility works in HDF5 :-)

Here is another line of thought. We could use the following principle:
As long as it is possible for a H5MD i.j+1 reader to read a H5MD i.j file
unambiguously and in a single codebase, we may use i.j+1 for the update.
Else,
the version jumps to i+1.0
