On this list, it's shouted down.  I commented some time ago about the
rather toxic behavior of the python developers vis-a-vis breaking
compatibility at virtually every release.  You would have thought that I
had urinated in the holy water.

It's an ugly little wart on the free software movement.  There's nowhere
near the incentive to take care of your user base without a direct
financial gain.  Not, mind you, that commercial ventures haven't done
the same, but the consequences to them are more severe and direct.
