Well, going from the general to the specific, I can jump in with an example
of an irritating BC breakage between ZF 1.7.8 and 1.8.x. The behavior of
Zend_Filter_Input has changed in several ways such that the examples in
their own docs no longer work as advertized. Issues have been filed but
AFAIK no one seems to care enough to fix.

Makes me want to take another hard look at Cake, which I turned away from
when I first tried it a couple years ago because things that I thought
should be fairly simple -- e.g., writing custom input validation -- were
painful, and the docs were well-meaning but wanting. Looks both of the above
have been addressed since then.
