What is the reason to break user-space applications like this?

Did you read the whole thread? It was a low-level SCSI driver issue, where nothing broke user space, but the command was just fed to the drive differently, which then hit a limit in the driver.

Will this break major applications like CD/DVD rippers,
DVD players, etc.. which read LARGE blocks at a time?

If not, then good!
