If you want to move fast, you must accept that things break.

If you want things not to break, you must slow down.

It isn’t reasonable to ask for these two things at once:

* lots of change

* stability

[Gormo]

And the reasonable answer is to judge proposed changes in terms of their impact to stability, and make relevant risk/reward tradeoffs (and ideally including risk mitigation within the scope of the change).

The current milieu seems dramatically skewed toward churning out low-value changes without sufficiently considering the impact to stability, causing frequent breakage, and resulting in net negative value.
