Breaking apis, is breaking apis. Even for security reasons.

Removing something that works is not, in itself, "improving" security. It is breakage in the holy name of security.

If you have broken your system in the name of security it is not a more secure system. Its just a broken system that does not do its job. It might be "more secure" when users fix api usage, in the mean time its useless and is going to cost everyone time & money to fix.

It might makes more sense in the long run to move to something with a stable api.
