The only argument that's left is: "I don't mind you breaking my code by fixing bugs in the implementation, but I do mind when it's for cleaning/changing the language/phobos". In light of recent comments from heavyweight users saying "please break my code in the name of improving the language and libraries", I don't think it holds much water.
Well, in this case we don't necessarily need to break anyone's code, it would be possible to stop at deprecation.
But generally speaking, I agree with you, which is why I was hoping to move the debate to, "What are the circumstances under which these breaks are possible," rather than "Should we/shouldn't we".
