A while ago there was a discussion of changes of the "If we were starting over today, it would be obvious we should have made it work the other way" kind and potential transition plans for them leading up to 2.0. It's way too late to throw new breakage in. More generally, it doesn't make a lot of sense to save thinking about such questions for the last minute before a new major release. If an important change will require breaking compatibility and can only be done using a painful 5-year transition, start today (and send patches to the ML when an appropriate quiet moment comes to get review) so the 5-year counter can start ticking.
