I think that the main justification for such discussion is
this is one of the rare times when it's arguably
OK to make non-upward-compatible changes
Such changes tend not to be tried-and-tested precisely because they
break H98. We can flirt with many such changes, but we should probably
only adopt ones for which the case seems very strong.
