The example of the recent fire in London strengthens my point. If we neglect security, then there is a price to pay for it. And now in London they do fix up buildings, because it's what makes sense. Linux including a breaking change to increase security does not stop any business. If you are not patched to the new version, don't upgrade. The breaking change could be announced well ahead, and people would have time to fix their stuff. That would be akin to the government releasing a new regulation but not forcing anybody to upgrade directly, but by offering tax relieve to anybody who did.
