if it's unchecked it's gonna change all addons no matter what? even if they are not ready for the new API? I don't agree to this, sorry.

Not everyone will agree with the options?.
There will be warnings and notifications on things like that.
The tag is to opt in or opt out for authors.

And I intend to update mine only after checking that they are working on the new version on Live. Not before, and certainly not before AND after the patch: before for users who use this AND after those who don't use this. That's twice as much traffic, it doesn't make it smoother.

You can opt out :-)
that;'s why there is a FastAPI tag.
I'm not trying to create errors but I think you can see the value in being able to change one API up or down or multiple ones.
I respect all authors code -- you don't opt in, it won't modify it.
but IF it's ready for the new API and you have the old one in there - then the user does NOT have to wait for your new version to play. They can patch it.
Let me get a better picture and layout tomorrow and then give me feedback on that.
Maybe I jumped the gun with an old SS but I didn't plan on skipping work today :-) -- it just happened.
Sirinsidiator was helping me with the layout and ideas (smart dude) ... so give it a day before you hate it.
