This is impossible. Every piece of software has bugs, hence every piece
of software also has regressions. Some of these 'break user stuff'.

You can't write categorical rules like this, because all software has
bugs. All you can do is set appropriate policies for prioritizing how
you fix those bugs. Significant regressions are generally fixed at quite
a high priority in Fedora, and that is the case here: the bug in
question was addressed quickly after it was reported.
