Right now, holding it off won't break any code not relying on an unreleased version of the compiler. Releasing it, then having to make changes will break code though. There were plenty of discussions about UDA stuff that never really got fully resolved. For example, whether only specific types should be allowed to be used as annotations. These things should have been fully decided before UDA's were implemented, because otherwise we may end up with an inferior approach for the sake of not breaking code, or breaking code because a feature was not fully fleshed out before being released.
I agree there was not a consensus reached on this issue. But I also feel all the arguments were fairly represented, and it was time to make a decision.
