A known bug beats an unknown update in a whole lot of enterprise use cases. This drives devs insane but it is true.

  It’s a limitation in SemVer too. Fixing a bug in a point release (e.g. keeping the api the same) could still result in undesired changes.

  Yes, there's substantial value in being able to have a specific bugfix and not have to upgrade an application and a ton of dependencies.

    Or not even a fix. A known bug can be mitigated or worked around. Predictable is better.
