This is an excellent talk, i found myself fully agreeing and kind of relieved that i'm not the only one thinking that you shouldn't break backwards compatibility and if you do, then rename the API. I'd only add that for libraries renaming "FOO 1" (with "1" often implied) to "FOO 2" isn't a good new name since someone else might want to pick up the slack and continue developing a "FOO 2" that is backwards compatible. One of my favorite parts of the talk is the X.Y.Z changes in semver essentially translating (from a user perspective) to imscrewed.dontcare.dontcare :-P. Sadly it seems that this talk has been largely ignored. I'd like everyone who provides any library, framework or anything else that other people are supposed to build on - especially on the perpetually broken Linux desktop - to watch this talk.
