That's why such a change should only be introduced in a point release, which will break a lot of code anyway and this will probably be the easiest compatibility fix of all of them. So I don't think that's really an argument against it. I find Base the worst class name ever. It does not at all communicate it's intention other than that it's a base class for something.
