I think that the breakage is more likely where the services bundle is using lower level OpenSimulator interfaces that 
are not formalized and/or documented.  I would say this is because the code has grown organically and sometimes things 
have to change so that they make sense in the long term (this is one reason why I still regard OpenSimulator as an 
"alpha" codebase).  External users have to adapt if they are using these interfaces.

The 'higher' level protocol/interfaces (e.g. the methods exposed on the inventory service or the XMLRPC API) change much 
less often.

I'm slowly trying to document various protocols/interfaces at [1] but it's slow going since there are an awful lot of 
them.  If there's anything specific people want to know then I'm happy to investigate/write things up when asked.
