An expression comes to mind, "death by a thousand cuts". If you 
are only going to look at each DIP on it's own, without also 
taking into consideration other DIPs, then you aren't going to 
realize just how much breakage the accumulation of all the DIPs 
is actually causing. There's been a lot of DIPs that cause a 
bunch of breaking changes recently. They are all small, but it's 
all starting to add up. And the breakage is starting to outweigh 
the benefits that they bring. To me personally for my projects, 
they don't really bring any benefit, but they still break my code.
