I saw developers introducing breaking changes, then finding projects depending on them and submitting patches. So they really have good intentions and spend more their volunteer open source energy than necessary. And when the other project can not review and merge their patch (no maintainers) they get disappointed.

So please, just keep the old function name. It will be cheaper for you and for everyone.




An unmaintained duplicate way of doing things is a mistake waiting to happen.


I was just thinking this, but I guess were really just talking API changes. Everything under the api can still get rewritten, no?
