Can anyone provide me with a single good reason why savefile compatibility is desirable now?
In the past, the big reason was monster memory. That is now in a separate file.
If there is no such reason, then the plan would be that, for example: Angband 8.1.0 would be released; 8.1.1, 8.1.2, ... would all be savefile compatible (as changes in the third digit are just for fixes); then when 8.2.0 is released 8.1.x savefiles will (probably) not work in it.
