Yes I get your viewpoint about long term stability guarantees and feel it's valid to a certain degree. But I waiting for so many years for Julia 1.0 while expecting the entire language (base + stdlib) to have API stability for at least a few years, and hopefully many many years, like Fortran or at least Matlab.
Also, I wish you guys would have some overarching philosophy w.r.t API stability in the stdlib. From looking at the github, it seems like the core developers are just delegating API change decisions in the standard library to new people who are not as familiar with the code base, without much discussion at all. I just don't think that is the way the stdlib should be managed.
