While I totally agree with the sentiment it is nice when language developers go out of their way to not break stuff, even when they don't have to. For example the golang team have made efforts not to break certain usages of the unsafe package in the past, despite the package offering no guarantees about stability.
On a similar note, Im sure there was a suggestion to artificially make the previous golang sort function unstable so that users wouldn't come to rely on stable behaviour where it wasn't guaranteed. I quite like the idea, start the fight against hyrum's law!
