actually I'd recommend to do it that way. Breaking normal deprecation

I agree it should have been done, not saying it's OK to break the process in
some cases. I'm just explaining why it probably happened the way it did.
Yes, it should have been done. We screwed up.
However, breaking it again in 2.067.1 is not good. Anyone who creates immutable
fields for 2.067 and then upgrades to 2.067.1 is going to be upset. Even if we
agree on how semantic changes should happen in the future (and should have
happened in the past), it's not acceptable to change them for a point release.
Unfortunately, you're right.
