One of the most reliable OSS sync/backup tools on the planet for 2+ decades broke under people's daily backup use of it because of a large pile of LLM-driven changes basically out of nowhere from the project maintainer in a minor point release. I think they're right to be annoyed and to complain about it.

Whilst a lot of the Claude changes are test related, there were still other changes that obviously broke things for people - and who's to say that some of the testing changes may not have thinned out the testing too given one commit "rewrote all shell tests in python" with over 4000 lines added and removed at once. And even after all that Claude churn on the testing, these breaking changes obviously weren't caught by tests, so it's not exactly an "enhancement" from the end user perspective.
