> Hmm... I was under the impression we didn't have to pay much attention to downstream developers if it makes upstream more complicated (I've been on the other end of that point on a number of occasions...).

I believe that's mostly about not worrying about API compatibility. It's downstream forks responsibility to fix their fork to account for changes. I think this goes a bit further than not worrying about downstream forks though as unless the fork diverges from upstream the end users of common OS's can be impacted too. For example, I expect not supporting single-dashed options in objdump limits the options /usr/bin/objdump accepts on macOS and may break things that use it. Whether that's a real problem or not I'm not really sure.
