I've never seen language that remains consistent across versions
You must have missed Perl. It's remained remarkably consistent across major release versions when compared to many other languages, including Java and Python.
Some of the best features of Python are often called out as inconsistencies or syntactic sugar by people who don't really understand them (e.g. list comprehensions).
Backward incompatibilities are very real issues affecting a very large amount of code.
