What part of "We don't break user space" do you have trouble understanding?

There is no time limit. It's not about time. It's about not breaking user space.

End of discussion. I don't understand why people have such a hard time
understanding such a simple concept. If people reports it breaks
user-space, we fix it. And we keep fixing things until nobody uses the
old versions any more. Seriously, IT IS THAT SIMPLE.
