The original comment I was replying to was taking a stab at Python in particular. All I'm saying, is that in the open-source community, in that specific regard, Python doesn't stand out. Many developers care about backwards compatibility, many (dare I say, most) others simply don't.
I've had a large Java repo that broke recently, after we've updated some of our Maven deps to slightly newer versions (that was a very large, well known and used package). So those things happen in the "Java world" too.
