Yep! Ironically enough, hyrum's law leaves the ethics of breaking changes ambiguous.
Breaking compatibility with customers that are depending on your bugs to remain unfixed is both good (insofar as it removes bad things) and bad (insofar as things that were working work no longer).
Another angle on the social contract is visible in that, when we accidentally introduce a major-version change in a patch-version, we don't retroactively change the version number to a major version bump, we just release another patch. :)
