Yeah, I don't think that's an answer either, which is why I talked about LTS-approach (Long Term Support) for your core dependencies.
Eg. all packages in Ubuntu LTS "main" archive, or RedHat releases, get supported for 5-10 years with security fixes, while maintaining backwards compatibility.
However, even Canonical has realized people will accept breakage, so "main" has been dwindling over time to reduce their costs. That also applies to snaps and flatpaks — no guarantees about them at all.
