So while people claim they don't want breaking change, what they really mean is "I only want breaking change when I decide I to take it." And each person/situation will have different desire on what they wish to have broken. What we want is to select changes that people will want, make it easy to make/expect the changes, and enough time they will make the choice on their own.
That is exactly what I want! But if we keep saying "we are stable, trying to be stable, almost there" it won't change. It requires some formal process, not only simple desire to be stable. Current attitude just hides away real issues inventing local meaning for "stability".
