That's the typical Microsoft (or closed source) development style I do
not agree with. If a design is wrong, fix it - don't band-aid it and
compromise another design. That's my moto for any open source
projects. The designs and discussions are much more open and available
to everybody - so you can prepare your products much easier for new
"code breaking changes".

I have been doing this for years with our projects that use open
source tools, and such changes normally doesn't happen too often.
Alternatively, use a good repository system so that you can easily
backport fixes until you have time to really fix your code.
