I'm struggling to articulate something here. When the maintainer of the stable branch of a platform that I rely on says "The fact that upgrading to our recent stable release will break this critical functionality is so-and-so's fault, not ours." this reduces my confidence in that maintainer. Not because he's wrong! Maybe it *is* so-and-so's fault. But what I'm looking for in the maintainer of a stable platform is someone who says "Maybe this wasn't our fault, but here are the steps we're taking to get you back on your feet as soon as possible.".
