If you are this hypersensitive to change, it behooves you stay on a stable release and only upgrade after you've read the CHANGELOG and NEWS files.
Someone hypersensitive to changes track changes as early as possible, and complain quickly and loudly.
Those who are not sensitive changes just use whatever Ubuntu (or whatever) provides and are unconcerned with the development.
Some people only pick up releases, including test releases.
Some people only work with final releases.
All those people could find something suddenly not working well.
