LGTM 🌮
Nice to have this documented.


When breaking changes to the Loop client daemon API are made, old fields will be
marked as deprecated. Deprecated fields will remain supported until the next
minor release.

This is only the case as long as we are in the semver special case of major version 0. Afterwards breaking changes should only happen in major releases. Not sure if we should clarify this or if it's obvious to those who care.

Yes, I think we can change it if that happens. I am wondering why we don't just release major versions? There will always be improvements. @alexbosworth do you have an opinion on this?

I don't think we should do a major version as long as we have the -beta suffix. And as long as lnd (and LN in general) is considered beta (#reckless), we probably shouldn't give users the wrong sense of security by removing the -beta suffix in loop.
So probably no major releases for a few more years, IMO.
