It's not like making changes and breaking upgrades is acceptable in
Fedora Linux either.

Breaking or non backward compatible changes are acceptable in Fedora Linux tho between major version bump. Again here the cgroups v2 is a good example, folks using Docker had to perform some manual steps to switch back to cgroups v1 to keep using their workflow working. This is fine when you have a major version bump but this does not happen in FCOS.
 

Then maybe FCOS needs to have a major version number to indicate that these breaks are going to happen. I am going to say off the bat it DOES NOT need to be the same as the Fedora Linux release number. It also doesn't mean that number change means that you can't move a system from say FCOS-1 to FCOS-2... but that you make no promises of moving it back to FCOS-1.

Eventually something is going to cause this. The many changes like: cgroups etc are adding up to an area where FCOS will reach a point it only 'matches' Fedora in name and might as well be based off of Debian Jessie or Slackware 14.2 or CentOS-8 Stream.
