How about "don't trash what was there before". Something like MATE shouldn't be necessary because anyone interested in the legacy interface could just continue to use it. Would it really have been that hard to create GNOME 3 in a way that didn't actively sabotage what was already there?
This kind of "Microsoft" approach is what really riles people.
Upgrading to the latest version of shiny distro should not trash an already functional setup.

So if you include a DE in a distro, you then have to support it forever?

If you're a desktop oriented distro, and it's the default one, then my answer is: yes, you have to.

Forever is a very strong word. I would put it this way: "if you include a DE in a distro, a desktop oriented distro, and it's the default one, an upgrade the user does each six months should not trash said environment's functionality without recourse."
