Treating compatibility as a hard constraint is easy to second-guess, but pays off in spades. Fragmentation caused by breaking hurts a lot.
that's begging the question. Why did it fail? @Gankro claims x64 compat with x32 is the reason.

Similarly: Py3 got relatively more successful when it gained more compat with Py2.

I lean more towards it failing for other reasons other than compat. That's not to say the latter is not an important factor.

let those who want to break compat break it when they find it necessary to build what they deem superior.

people do get it wrong of course, but they also get it right at times too. We gots to keep trying.

problem with momentum is we tend to get stuck with sucky solutions because we are afraid of "breaking the world".
