The extension breakage had nothing to do with attitude.  It was just early days and the interfaces were more fluid.  It breaks less because the developers have figured out more details about how to extend it better.  There are certainly problems with the approach taken in some cases but neither examples you cite are good instances of that.  1) is a random forum  2) is just immature interfaces
