That people can make an initial plan that is self-consistent, logical, and foresees and provides for all future use-cases is a basic tenet of waterfall-style development. The history of software engineering does not uphold that principle. Why would it be different for language designers?

Just because an unforeseen issue arises, doesn't mean you need to introduce a breaking change right away.
