A possible mitigation is to use a release model where we backport certain
fixes to an LTS release, allowing users who don't need the
latest-and-greatest to deal with breaking changes every N years, rather
than every 6 months. Obviously that would come at a significant cost to the
project, not a decision to be taken lightly.
