But as it seems now, this is out of the question, because with every release, things are taken out, changed without any respect to backward compatibility.
I don't think that's actually true. If you step through each release I think you'll find things deprecated first, to warn people something will be delete next version. You should be able to upgrade stepwise through each version and fix your code to not use deprecated code, then move on to the next version. Deprecation is respecting backwards compatibility, it lets you know change is coming.
