Well that's *always* a problem right? If you take that to the extreme we wouldn't need bugfix releases. :-)

Apart from some examples in the 3.5-3.6 timeframe, what makes you think that *this* fix *specifically* is going to make more people unhappy than it makes happy?

When people complain that they wrote Annotated[ClassVar[int], ...] and are disappointed that it doesn't work in a certain old version, you can just tell them to use ClassVar[Annotated[int, ...]] which is in no way invalid or inferior and works in all versions that support Annotated.
