By reading many of the comments here, it looks like that you are missing the point (maybe you are not a Flask user): it would be great if Flask would only introduce breaking changes in major releases. Unfortunately, many things break with minor releases too. We develop a framework built with Flask, and it is very painful. We always pin Flask< minor version (not major). This is unfortunately happening with other software too. The community should really align and stick to SemVer.

It’s not missing the point, it’s that the author of this screed lead with whining about a project breaking compatibility on a major release. Since most of the software world has collectively agreed that’s how it’s supposed to work, whatever else they wrote is going to be buried because the author chose to start the post that way. Since they picked a deliberately provocative title there’s little chance that’s going to be a salvageable conversation.
Woosh.
