Yes, I do agree in principle. But it's not always that simple: github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/is...

It's not that the language would break something, though it may, it's more that different parts of the ecosystem surrounding the language will shift at different rates. Some people will follow SemVer some people will not.

The number of modules and packages being installed in today's projects is astronomical. It's a lot of work to keep everything in sync. I would love to get real stastistics on time-cost of library incompatibilities for the Node.js universe.
