I meant go's compatibility promise https://golang.org/doc/go1compat which is totally different, and no they are not ignoring the "community" they are just keeping that promise which I and many Go users appreciate.

Go broke a lot of things pre-1.0. Rust did as well! Just think it's worth remembering before making comparisons like this.

Yeah, I agree. And when Rust removed poorly designed things, they were often replaced with alternatives that solved the problem better, so it was never felt like a pain.
