Linux has had a habit of not breaking existing code from decades ago. I think 
that is one reason why it has millions of users.

Remember, every time you break existing code you reset your user base back to zero.

I'm *still* regularly annoyed by the writefln => writeln change in D1 to D2, and 
I agreed to that change. Grrrr.
