I can’t imagine a single feature that would be worth a change, and I have plenty of complaints about the library.

I also can’t see how that would make it more popular.

I'll never understand why a language needs to constantly evolve to be popular. There's nothing fun about having to keep up with changes, and continuous development just screams to me that a project has not yet matured. When something is stable enough to just keep working for 10 years without an update, that's not a bad thing. When did that become the mindset?
