Why encourage? We should take library developers out back and flog them when they make major api changes that could break things ;-)
That might be considered persuasive encouragement, too. On the other hand... Perhaps that is more of a very firm admonishing.
I'm sure any developers and potential developers have gotten the message.
Even then, as your tale illustrates, it can happen.
Maybe a little utility that finds uses of a function might help when this does happen.
