I wish more devs cared about backward compatibility not just in python but in general. I know a particular, very popular library, 60k stars on github, who's maintainers break stuff every month. They don't care how many developers time it wastes they just decide FooBar should really be named FooB and rename it. No Effs given how many people it disrupts. You'd think people would complain but cult of personality and/or popularity of library turns people in to fan boys where they seem to think "If these geniuses are doing it this way then it must be good". .... sigh
