There is no way to avoid anything. If a big enough client decides to implement non-backwards-compatible changes to the protocol the protocol gets bloated and bloated.

Luckily most people (all people so far?) are well-intentioned, so we just need to share our concerns and be cautious and wise, and promote client decentralization such that no single client can capture the protocol.
