The rate of change would be fine in my book. The problem is the rate of breakage. Backwards compatibility is a forgotten art. Code is endlessly rewritten and refactored. Sometimes for trivial things like changing names. And of course, they don't keep the old name for more than a year, if at all. Can't anything ever be good enough? Obviously things move on and new tech replaces old, but we don't need to break compatibility between versions of the same code for no reason.
