This example:

* Uses Lua 5.1.5 — You can use another version by chaning the `luaVersion` varible. LuaJIT versions can be used by prefixing the version with `luajit-`, i.e. `luajit-2.1.0-beta3`
* Uses Lua 5.1.5 — You can use another version by changing the `luaVersion` variable. LuaJIT versions from known branches (`master`, `v2.1` or `v2.0`) can be used by prefixing the version with `luajit-`, i.e. `luajit-2.0`
* Uses a `.rockspec` file the root directory of your repository to install dependencies and test packaging the module via `luarocks make`

This one could be a breaking change for people. But I assume they could change it to luajit-2.1 and get (mostly?) equivalent behavior.

trying to install LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 was failing for users as well (see lunarmodules/copas#197).

Yep, deleting tags is a pretty nuclear option for making people upgrade.

But the Lua community, ever since the Lua/LuaJIT split around 5.2 (gosh, that was... 15 years ago!?), has gotten in this paralyzing tendency of supporting old versions forever, even when upstream doesn't support them anymore. We should really be (gradually?) moving into supporting only the latest PUC-Rio Lua and the latest LuaJIT, at best.

If people want to be using very very old versions of Lua, they should be using very very old versions of the supporting ecosystem as well, and not forcing maintainers into supporting 20+ years of legacy at all times.
