+!0.

It's a shame that they have made so many changes that are not reverse compatible. They have $100 Billion in the bank - can they not sort this out?

Which bank account should they transfer the money to in order to get these problems magically solved?

Well, they can put it into the 'bank accounts' of a few dozen decent developers and managers who are allocated with the task of solving this problem.

It's a double shame that my comment is down-voted - I can't think of another bit of tech which has had so many backwards-breaking changes over the years. Not Node, not Java, not Javascript for example.
