I get how you (and perhaps others) might think it's as you say. But I can tell you're not saying what you've said based on knowing it to be true but guessing it to be so. And while your guess isn't a surprising one given natural assumptions due to the names "Perl", "Perl 5", "Perl 6", and "Perl 7", it doesn't correspond to what has actually happened.
Anyone keeping up with the latest release of the Perl language has had near zero breakage for decades. (Indeed Perl has a well deserved reputation for having an outstanding track record in this regard compared to almost all other mainstream PLs.) I personally see every likelihood Perl 7 will extend that track record, though of course my crystal ball prognostications are necessarily based purely on what I see.
No one using P6 or Raku had a huge breaking change from Perl 5. No one using P6/Raku will have another one going to Perl 7.
If you presume Raku and Perl are different languages you'll get the essence of what has actually happened so far, and seems likely to be more or less true for the rest of this decade at least.
