They haven't gotten along with that just fine, that GCC case is exactly what gets brought up when discussing ABI breaks, because it caused a Python 2/3 like experience around the GCC and GNU/Linux communities.

And yet everyone is successfully on C++11 & newer, and that transition still happened in a fraction of the time of the Python 2/3 transition. Nobody even mentions that when discussing modern C++, it's that much of an "everyone got over it" thing.

Apparently you aren't much into the C++ world, I advise hearing the C++ podcasts at very least.

Plenty of people discuss the matter.
