Its always a tough decision, either you make no changes but then have to live with a less than ideal situation, or make changes but forces everyone to update their code.

Personally I think its ok to make incompatible changes once and then, as long as its not too many changes in one go (like python3), its preferable than later on ending up with inconsistent or overly complex languages.
