Can you see how this comes off as a pedantic difference? If I ran a program 10 years ago and it worked, then run it today and it doesn't work, we say the program is broken and needs to be updated. We don't say the world around it is broken and needs to revert back to its original state.


We do revert back to a previous context if that seems practical: revert back to a previous compiler or library version.
