I don't think that is true sadly. I have never seen a change as offensive as https://www.php.net/manual/de/function.implode.php https://www.php.net/manual/de/function.implode.php, where they simply swapped the parameter order of a core function. That is not conservative.
For other languages, Ruby for example feels a lot more stable. I'd expect that tcl, perl and most lisps are as well. But in fact I am still searching alternatives for the times I don't want to use ruby.
