One recent example:

Carlos recently changed BrowserResizeHandler because he implemented a newer 
version which is not application-specific.

A good idea and one I support. However, it does break existing applications 
which use BrowserResizeHandler due to a rename.

I happened to notice his commit, so when my app got an error because 
BrowserResizeHandler was not recognized, I knew right away how to fix it. I 
could have just as easily missed his commit and been clueless why my app 
suddenly broke.

If there was a PR, it also would have given a good opportunity to raise an 
issue with the change if I would have had one. If a change does need to be 
reverted, PRs also make reverting very painless.
