Debian is kind of like that, except packages broken by upgrades are mostly just removed.

Eventually, yes I guess. But long before that the breaker and breakee both are notified, and the breakage hopefully is fixed. As it should be.

I would hope the other aspirational software distribution systems (pip, npm, et al) ALSO do that, but according to this article, I guess they don't? Not shocked , to be honest
