It's not like you have to drop off your punch cards and come back tomorrow afternoon, is it?

That's not the issue. The issue is that this is a fundamental syntax change, it has the capability of introducing subtle errors, and if it screws one person's code up such that he has to spend hours or days tracking down a bug in something that used to work then it's done the FPC and Lazarus projects significant damage.

It might well be useful as an optional feature, but under no circumstances enabled by default.
