The first paragraph is closer.
I wouldn't say we "simple" break stuff.
I would even go so far that when you break dmd/phobos you have to 
make a really
good case for it and have PR's open to the 50 most used 
code.dlang packages and
all there dependencies.

I bet, most breaking changes, will result in hardly any 
problems/PR's.
