Deliberately breaking code that has always worked doesn't sound very
appetizing to me. If there were simply no good alternative to it, then
maybe, but generally we have higher regard for backwards compatibility
than to do it just because it's neater.
I agree with planning to arrive at state #4 after a transitional release
or three, but to do it now with no warning will simply bring us visits
from angry pitchfork-bearing villagers...
