Whenever there's some defensible reason for why something works as it 
does, even if there are pretty good arguments that it would have been 
better if it had been done some other way, we need to lean heavily 
toward preserving the status quo for that behavior.

For my purposes anymore, basically any code breakage is too much. I sure 
don't want to worry about things going wrong with scripts that are in 
production use whenever I upgrade the interpreter, and I've been relying 
heavily on Ruby at work for quite a while.
