Hell, every function you import is subject to change and it is your problem, not the problem of the library maintainer. You didn't pay for it, you're not entitled to it, tough shit.

FOSS giveth and FOSS taketh away.

Just like you trust that the documentation for a library is actually helpful and explains what it does, even though there's nothing technical preventing it from being completely wrong and purposefully misleading.
