The go 1.0 compatibility promise is the sort of minimal guarantee that meets the cost and risk requirements for long term software maintenance.

The model here isn't something being actively maintained but some 100k utility that has been quietly working for five or ten years and has receded out of the awareness of everyone. Touching it is risky and it's working. I don't want to change it. SSL deprecations are bad enough but at least justifyable but removing things that have been deprecated is not.
