If we also change array indices to be signed, it would break that code that sensibly uses unsigned types, which is probably worse.Yes, of course that code needs to be fixed after the change I have suggested. A "breaking change" means that some of the old code needs to be fixed.
That code needs to be "fixed"? My point was that being forced to use signed types for values that cannot possibly be negative doesn't to me constitute fixing anything.
