What's the deal on the -X vs -Y thing?

Why was -X changed to -Y, and was it really worth breaking user-training
compatibility?

With this apparently-intentional breakage, it's going to be a mess for
years to come, helping users understand when to use -X and when to use -Y.

Or am I missing something? Is there still a consistent way of getting X11
forwarding, across versions of openssh?

Thanks!
